“A Word in Your Ear” Challenge

Montrose Academy was founded in 1815 and succeeded the ancient Grammar School of Montrose as the principal centre of education in the town.  For many years it catered for a relatively small number of pupils following a limited curriculum.  Since the beginning of this century, however, it has expanded steadily in size and range of studies offered.  It is now a comprehensive school of approximately 1000 pupils, which seeks to meet the educational needs of all young people in the town and surrounding district between the ages of twelve and eighteen. The original building, with its impressive golden dome, was rebuilt and extended in 1961 and there were further changes as part of the 1988-90 Extension. There are 100 teaching and support staff. Most of our pupils come to us from our associated Primary Schools of Borrowfield, Ferryden, Lochside, Rosemount, Southesk and St Margaret’s. A number of pupils also come to us from outwith the catchment area .The School Motto is ‘Semper Sursum’ which sums up the overall aim of the school in that we constantly strive to improve all aspects of our service and our provision. Hamish Keddie is a chartered teacher at Montrose Academy.
