A Welcome from the Headmaster It is a great privilege to be the headmaster of Northcote Lodge, a school that has secured for itself an excellent reputation as a leading boy’s preparatory school.
The Story of Northcote Lodge In 1984 Katharine Mears (now Colquhoun) founded Broomwood Hall School, the independent pre-preparatory school for boys and girls.
By 1992 many parents were openly questioning the desirability of sending boys away to board at 8.
Where did our motto come from? In 1424 King James I of Scotland commanded Sir John Colquhoun, the Laird of Luss, to seize possession of Dumbarton Castle. Sir John replied to the King's command in French "Si Je Puis - I will if I can".
