I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Auchenharvie Academy.

 Our key goal is the valuing of each pupil individually and equally. All pupils are individuals with different needs and we recognise this through the courses taught, the teaching approaches used, the supportive guidance system and the range of extra-curricular activities. Only by recognising pupils as individuals with different needs can we assist them to reach their full potential.

Pride, confidence and success in a school comes from students, parents/carers and staff having a shared understanding of what we are trying to achieve.  The teaching staff will demand a high level of participation and effort from all students. We value your involvement in the education of your child, and I am a strong advocate of positive relationships between home and school in supporting our young people in their learning.

Together, I believe that we can work towards the highest standards for our young people during their time at Auchenharvie Academy.  Our school has an excellent reputation and a splendid record of success and achievement in many fields.  Recognising these achievements is an essential part of our school ethos.

Auchenharvie Academy is a six year non-denominational comprehensive school which serves the towns of Stevenston and Saltcoats (south) and is situated between the two. The school roll currently stands at 672 pupils. We have been fortunate to have quite substantial refurbishments of many classrooms over the last five or six years and are currently working with NAC on further refurbishment works to our school, resulting in very good facilities being made available to our pupils.  The school is very well equipped and I am confident this environment is well placed to encourage, inspire and motivate the pupils and staff on a daily basis.

We hope that your child will enjoy the years that are ahead and that he or she will gain, both academically and socially, from being a pupil here.

Our Overall Aim

 Ensuring our children and young people experience the best start in life.

Our Priorities

•  We will create the conditions for our children and young people to access the highest quality learning experiences from ages 3-18.
