Level of descriptionfonds
Admin history/BiographyWaverley Park Home was founded by the Glasgow Association for the Care of Defective and Feebleminded Children, run by a voluntary Board of Directors and funded by voluntary subscriptions and grants. It opened in 1906 with the object to provide and maintain a home for the protection, elementary education and industrial training of school-age girls categorised as 'defective' or 'feebleminded'. With the introduction of the National Health Service in 1947, the management of Waverley Park passed to the Board of Management for Lennox Castle and Associated Hospitals, and in 1974 to the Greater Glasgow Health Board. The school associated with the home later passed to the local authority. In 1995 the school merged with Langbrae School to become Campsie View School.
