Stranraer Academy is a secondary school in Stranraer in south west Scotland. It serves the area of Stranraer, the Rhins, and parts of the Machars. The original Stranraer Academy was opened in 1845 on the site of the present Stranraer Campus of Dumfries & Galloway College. In 1965 a new Academy (B Block) was built alongside a new High School (A Block) and in 1970 the schools joined together. ==Recent history== The Academy is a six-year comprehensive school, with a school roll above 1000, and is the second-most attended secondary school in Dumfries and Galloway. Nearly 100 full- and part-time teachers work at the academy, and are aided by a team of support staff. In May 2006 the school's rector announced his retirement, following an unfavourable HMIe report in January 2006, and left the following August. Following his retirement, Joanna Pallet became Acting Head Teacher for a period, until a replacement (Norman Dawson) could be found. The school received a follow-up report from HMIe January 2008. The inspectorate stated that there have been "significant improvements", particularly in terms of the overall quality of learning and teaching and that there had also been some improvements in pupils’ attainment, relative to schools with similar characteristics. They also stated that more now remained to be done to rebuild the school’s reputation in the community, improve attainment levels, address staffing difficulties and deal with outstanding health and safety issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stranraer Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
