Dear pupils, parents and wider school partners, it is a pleasure to welcome you back for school year 2017-18, following a simply amazing year for Loudoun Academy last year.  I hope that you have all had an excellent Summer break and return refreshed and ready for another great year.

It has been a very busy Summer in school due to a wide range of building works taking place.  A new vehicle entrance has been put in place, to serve both the school and leisure centre and we ask, as always, that drivers approach and use school roads with the greatest of care and caution.  Further works have taken place to our main roof and brickwork and these are scheduled to complete, as planned, in the next few weeks.  We will be meeting with pupils to advise of routes around the site until the completion of these works and the removal of our scaffold.  We have had new fire and security doors installed over the Summer and Hurlford primary have been successfully decanted from Loudoun, back to their much improved campus.  We once again, thank our pupils, staff and parents for their co-operation during such works to improve our school.

We look forward to opening our new inclusion hub, support for learning classroom and our new senior phase communication centre in the coming weeks and will share these, and other developments, in a newsletter with you in the very near future.

We are delighted with our SQA results and congratulate all of our learners on a job very well done, and wish our leavers all of the very best as they move into further study, training or employment.

As always, our school handbook is available on the EAC website and a copy will also be placed on this site for parental information.  We will also provide our parent calendar on this site in the coming days.

As always, please contact us at school if you have any queries or issues and I look forward to welcoming you all back formally tomorrow.

With all best wishes for another amazing Team Loudoun year

Linda Mc Aulay-Griffiths
