Annan Academy

In 2002, Annan Academy celebrated its 200th Anniversary - marked with visits by HRH The Princess Royal and a return to his old school by Deputy First Minister and Justice Minister for Scotland, Jim Wallace.

The school was formed on its present site in the 1920s when the old fee-paying Annan Academy merged with the Public School at Greenknowe.The school caters for more than 1100 pupils from within a 9 mile radius extending from Gretna to Clarencefield via Kirkpatrick Fleming, Eaglesfield and Carrutherstown.

Fully comprehensive, it offers an extensive curricular choice and an exceptionally wide range of extra-curricular activities as well.

The Academy has a strong history of sporting achievement at National level both in team and individual competition.

One of the school's earliest "Old Boys" was the great Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle, the Sage of Chelsea.
