“The school motto is Floreat Iuventus – Let Youth Flourish – and that was fundamentally what my dad believed.”
James McVittie was headteacher at St Ninian’s High for more than two decades before retiring in 2005
His daughter, Claire Harrow, said: “He was a man who came from humble origins. He was lucky to have opportunities and to have mentorship from an early age and aimed to make sure that every child did too, irrespective of background. Born in Bellshill in 1942, Mr McVittie was the eldest of six siblings and attended St Aloysius Primary, in Chapelhall, and St Patrick’s High, in Coatbridge, before going to Glasgow University, from where he graduated with an honours degree in Classics.
