Banff Academy is a S1–S6 secondary school in Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It serves the towns of Banff, Macduff, Whitehills, Portsoy, Aberchirder, Gardenstown, Ordiquhill, Fordyce and surrounding communities.[3]
The school does not teach by means of the Gaelic Language. All Aberdeenshire Schools are co-educational, providing education for both boys and girls.[4]
In November 2013, an inspection by Education Scotland branded the school as "weak".[5][6] However, the following month the school received commendation from Education Scotland, stating that they had made "positive progress" since the school adopted an 80-point improvement plan.[7]
