WELCOME

Elgin Academy has very recently redefined our shared vision for the school.

This now reads: "Teamwork and relationships in a fully inclusive school, allied with strong leadership at all levels, excellent learning and teaching and a skills and knowledge-based curriculum, mean that our young people are fully prepared for the future. #TeamEA

This is encapsulated by the slogan "Together Everyone Achieves More at Elgin Academy".


School History

From 1603 the town of Elgin had two schools – the Grammar School which instructed the pupils in Grammar and was sited on the corner of what is now Commerce Street, and also The Sang School or English School which, among other studies, instructed its pupils in the playing of monaccords, lutes, ungindlies and scistors. This school was situated on the lands of Maisondieu. However, in 1791, the Town Council of Elgin planned to bring the two schools together and form a new “Academy”.

In 1800, after public subscription, the new “Academy” was built on the corner of Francis Place and Academy Street and was officially opened in 1801. By 1884 these buildings had become inadequate for the increasing roll of children and so again the Town Council looked for public subscription to pay for new buildings. Again these were found and a new school was built in Moray Street and opened for use in 1886. The roll of pupils outgrew the Moray Street buildings and so, in 1964, work was started on the old buildings at Morriston. These were completed and opened in 1969. This school was demolished and replaced by the current buildings in 2012.
