Elgin Academy is a secondary school in Elgin, Moray, Scotland.

Admissions

Pupils at Elgin Academy are in years S1 to S6. Most arrive in first year (S1) from one of the nearby primary schools, which include Bishopmill Primary, West End Primary, East End Primary, Seafield Primary and St Sylvesters, to name but a few. Other pupils arrive in later years, mainly because of the nearby Royal Air Force base at Lossiemouth.

History

Elgin Academy is the biggest school in Moray, with a history going back to the Middle Ages. The first school was built on the adjacent corners of Academy Street and Francis Place, now the site of the local youth cafe. The second academy, built in 1801, on the site that is now Moray College.[2]

The third Elgin Academy building, on Morriston Road, was built in the late 1960s and opened in 1967.

In 2006 plans to merge the academy with Elgin High School were rejected after a public consultation.[3] Instead a new £30{{nbsp}}million building was constructed under Private finance initiative, and opened in 2012.[4]
