Linwood High School is a non-denominational comprehensive state secondary school in Linwood, Renfrewshire, Scotland.
The original school building was constructed in 1965 and demolished in 2006 for a new school to be constructed on the same site.
Originally Renfrewshire council had planned on merging Linwood High school with nearby Gryffe High School in Houston to form a 1500 pupil campus, but plans were rejected after local protests by parents. The councillors are reported to have received over 2600 responses, mostly opposing the plan.
The new school was part of Renfrewshire Council's £100 million Private Public Partnership (PPP) agreement, with Amey / Carillion Building being announced as preferred bidder in March 2005.
The £11.1 million construction was fully completed with the official opening in April 2008 by Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning.
In 2008, the school was one of four in the Renfrewshire area to have a Strathclyde Police officer on the premises with the key aim of "building stronger and safer communities". Strathclyde Police stated that the schools were chosen "because they are the ones with the biggest intake and catchment areas in Renfrewshire"
