Banff Academy

Banff Academy is a non-denominational secondary school in Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland which serves the towns of Banff, Macduff, Whitehills, Portsoy, Aberchirder, Gardenstown, Ordiquhill, Fordyce and surrounding communities.[1]

The school does not teach by means of the Gaelic Language. All Aberdeenshire Schools are co-educational, providing education for both boys and girls.[2]

As of September 2013, the school has 888 pupils.[3]

In November 2013, an inspection by Education Scotland branded the school as "weak".[4][5] However, the following month the school received commendation from Education Scotland, stating that they had made "positive progress" since the school adopted an 80-point improvement plan.[6]
