General information
Background: The name Dornoch Academy has been in use only since 1913, when the town was provided with the new school building that now houses Dornoch Primary School. However, the existence of a teaching establishment throughout the centuries was ensured by the association of the Celtic Church within the area now occupied by the Burgh of Dornoch, the establishment of a Cathedral there in the early 13th century and the creation of Dornoch as a Royal Burgh in 1628. Its Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother as purpose-built secondary accommodation for the school, opened the present Dornoch Academy building in 1963. There are also a range of sporting activities taking place throughout the year which include: badminton, basketball, circuit training, fishing, football, hockey, indoor football, rugby, skiing, snowboarding, squash and trampolining. The school aims to actively promote and protect the physical, mental and social health of the whole school community.
