Oldmachar Academy – Page 3

WELCOME FROM THE HEAD TEACHER

Oldmachar Academy is a fully comprehensive school which aims to stimulate and challenge the minds of our pupils in order for them to attain the highest academic achievement. Our interest in our pupils is not confined to academic results. We ensure that our pupils acquire life-long skills, which prepare them for the challenges of the future.

We hope that pupils, parents, staff and other visitors will find the website a useful source of information about our school. We will use it to promote Oldmachar Academy and the many opportunities available to our pupils.
