Doon Academy is a co-educational six-year secondary school located in Dalmellington, Ayrshire, Scotland. The school has around 350 pupils, making it far smaller than the average secondary school of its type. Doon Academy has existed in its current site since 1978, and has seen extensive redevelopment and modernisation over the years. As a result, today the school can boast of a wide range of modern teaching and recreational facilities. The school shares its site with a local primary school, and also hosts its own dedicated Learning Support Centre.

Values and Vision

Doon Academy runs an asymmetrical timetable during the school week, with Wednesdays and Thursdays having shorter school days than Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Doon Academy takes great pride in its comprehensive ethos, working hard to ensure that pupils are given equality of opportunity during their time at school, regardless of academic ability or personal background. The school also works hard to provide effective support for pupils looking to understand their options upon leaving school, be it higher education or employment.
