Campbeltown Grammar School was founded in 1686. Our catchment area includes Campbeltown, the surrounding villages and communities of South Kintyre and the island of Gigha.
Our new school can accommodate 500 pupils and currently has 360 pupils.
We are proud of our school and of our pupils’ achievements. We have a committed staff, respectful pupils and strong support from our community. We enjoy good relationships between pupils, parents and staff. We also work closely with partner agencies in delivering the curriculum and supporting our pupils.
There is a wide range of curriculum-enhancing activities with many clubs and groups running throughout the school year. Pupils achieve well in Sport and Music in particular and have won several local and national awards.
