Stranraer Academy is the secondary school serving the town of Stranraer and the surrounding area of west Wigtownshire, South-West Scotland. The original Stranraer Academy was opened in 1845 on the site of the present Stranraer Campus of Dumfries and Galloway College. In 1965 a new Academy (B Block) was built alongside a new High School (A Block) and in 1970 the schools joined together. The school buildings have undergone significant changes and expansion over the last 20 years. A building replacing ‘A’ block (from the original 1965 structure) was completed in 1997. In 2010 an expansion to the 1997 structure began through a Private Public Partnership to replace ‘B’ and ‘C’ block from the original 1965 building.
