HEAD OF EDUCATION | SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM | SENIOR PUPIL REPRESENTATIVES

Located in the heart of Stranraer, our school is proud to foster a culture of inspiration, innovation, energy, and creativity when it comes to teaching. We firmly believe that this approach has a tremendous positive impact on our pupils, shaping and enhancing their learning experience in countless ways. Our incredibly talented staff includes an experienced headteacher, Mr Jamie Farquhar, who is a former rugby player and scientist. Additionally, we are fortunate to have many skilled artists, composers, and sports coaches who all play a vital role in creating a stimulating learning environment that is synonymous with Stranraer Academy. Exploring new ideas and approaches to education is not only encouraged but celebrated. As a result, our school is a hub of innovation, dynamism, and excitement – making it the perfect place to learn and grow.

“At Stranraer Academy, those who can teach, teach and they do it with enthusiasm.” — Mr Jamie Farquhar, Headteacher

Head of Education

Our schools across Dumfries and Galloway have high expectations and high aspirations for pupils and staff. Like you, we want the best possible future for your child. We know that children do better at school and go on to achieve more in life when families and schools work together. We want to make sure that you, as parents and carers, feel involved in your child’s learning, feel welcome and listened to in our schools. We have a shared interest in your child being happy, confident, and successful in school.

To help children reach their potential we focus on removing barriers to learning; meeting the needs of children and upholding their rights underpin all we do.
