Info
Alness Academy (Scottish Gaelic: Acadamaidh Alanais) is a secondary school in Alness, Highland in the north on the Cromarty Firth of Scotland, serving the town of Alness and the villages of Evanton and Ardross. Along with five associated primary schools, it was one of the pilot New Community Schools in the Highlands. Built in the 1970s, it is one of the main schools in Ross-shire, with around about 500 pupils.Alness Academy came a superb 4th place in the Rock Challenge National Final in Dundee June 2015
The school's resources include; a multi-purpose Concourse, a hundred seat Lecture Theatre and a library. The PE complex houses a 25-metre swimming pool.
As part of the Highland Council's Sustainable School Estate Review, Alness Academy along with Invergordon Academy and several feeder primaries, are involved in a public consultation with a view to replace or renew schools provision in the area. Given the proximity of the two towns, various options are being considered, including replacing the schools within their current footprints or building a single secondary to serve both towns. Given the dilapidated state of the current building, renovation is thought to be unfeasible.
