Sanquhar Academy is a mixed Comprehensive School offering courses up to Advanced Higher Grade in a diverse range of subjects.  The school roll is currently 321 this gives us the advantage of really building strong relationships with all our pupils.

There has been a school in Sanquhar since pre-reformation times, but the first mention of an established Public school is in the statistical account of 1793.  The Crichton School, now part of the nursing home, in Laurie’s Wynd, was endowed in 1838 and, following the Education Act of 1872, the buildings of the parish school in Queensberry Square were re-built and extended.  The Crichton School and Sanquhar Public School joined in 1886 after which followed a series of extensions until 1931 when the school was renamed Sanquhar Academy.

Throughout this period, there had been separate schools in Sanquhar and Kirkconnel. In 1972

Kirkconnel Junior Secondary School closed and Sanquhar Academy became the school serving secondary-age pupils in the area in 1976.
