School Roll: 777 (age 12-18) Further www.east-ayrshire.gov.uk/schoolhandbooks information: 1 Dear Parent/Carer, As Head Teacher of Stewarton Academy, I am delighted to introduce the school handbook for session 2020/2021. It contains a wide range of information about the school, which I hope you will find useful and interesting. It is a privilege to be entrusted with the leadership of a school that values high academic standards alongside the wellbeing of its young people, staff and wider community. We work collaboratively with the school community to ensure that all of our young people achieve their full potential and experience a curriculum rich in opportunity, pace and challenge from the Broad General Education through to the senior phase. In dealing with the consequences of COVID-19 last session and this year, we have faced the same significant challenges as schools across the country. I remain extremely proud of our school community’s response, working together at all times and keeping our young people and the health and safety of staff, pupils and our wider community at the forefront of all decision making. Within the handbook, you will see our teaching and non-teaching staff’s commitment to embedding the needs and aspirations of our young people and keeping them at the heart of planning and day-to- day practice.
