A sweeping review is underway to determine if the Glasgow School of Sport "still offers the best environment" for young people hoping to become top athletes.
In a letter seen by The Herald, school officials first told parents of an admissions freeze in 2024/2025 on Wednesday, while promising that current students would not be affected.
But an overarching review of the city's sports funding conducted by Glasgow Life - the external organization that funds and operates the Glasgow School of Sport - could fundamentally alter how the school operates.
Neither Glasgow Life nor Glasgow City Council could commit to reopening admissions to the Glasgow School of Sport in the future.
A Glasgow Life spokesman said: "The current School of Sport model was introduced 25 years ago and was designed to meet the needs of pupils at the time.
"Since then the local networks that support young athletes have improved considerably.
"Glasgow City Council will continue funding for pupils from across Scotland already attending the school but we need to know if the current delivery model still offers the best environment for young people to become high-performing athletes.
"We will be working with governing bodies to ensure the resources available to young athletes have the greatest impact in supporting them to achieve their full potential.”
News of the funding review and admissions freeze came on Wednesday, when school leadership wrote to parents and pupils.
