Welcome to Strathaven Academy. On this website we hope to give you and your family an insight into the organisation of the school and try to answer many of the questions which you may have.

In Strathaven Academy we seek to deepen and widen the knowledge and understanding of pupils, to develop their skills, to foster their personal and social development and to prepare them for a useful life in the community. We endeavour to cater for the common needs of all and recognise the special aptitude and interest of individuals. We also seek to encourage self-discipline and a sense of responsibility in our pupils so that as they mature they may become increasingly responsible for their own work.

It is important that our pupils enjoy and benefit from their years in Strathaven Academy and to achieve this end it is essential that parents, teachers and pupils work in co-operation with each other. There are consultation evenings when you can meet your child’s teachers but you are also welcome to contact the school at any time to talk over any issues which you feel are important to your child’s education.

I trust that you will find this website useful during the next few years and hope that we can work together to ensure that your child finds that being at Strathaven Academy is both a worthwhile and enjoyable experience.
