Aboyne Academy

Welcome to the Aboyne Academy website

Aboyne Academy provides secondary school education for the communities of mid and upper Deeside. The current school roll is 645 (Sept 2025.) The school has the largest geographical catchment area of all the schools in Aberdeenshire and has 9 associated Primary Schools.

The school is known for having consistently high attainment levels, a positive ethos and prides itself on having a welcoming atmosphere and strong community spirit.

Our vision for the school is defined by:

• Our 3 core values of Respect, Determination and Compassion

• Our School Learner Profile

We strive to develop our 3 core values through everything that we do.

Our School Learner Profile was developed by our pupils, parents, staff and partners. It is our vision for the skills and attributes that we want young people to develop at Aboyne Academy.

We have active partnerships with over 40 local organisations and we are proud of our powerful partnerships with The Wood Foundation, The Fife Arms Braemar, Glen Tanar Estate, HorseBack UK and Aboyne and Upper Deeside Rotary Club. 

Working with our partners we have an ambitious plan to transform the way we prepare young people for life beyond school. Click here to view our annual Standards and Quality Report and Improvement Plan. 

We believe in open and genuine partnership with parents. The staff team and myself are committed to responding quickly to any queries that you may have.

Whether you are a pupil or parent or someone who wishes to find out more about the school, I do hope that you will find our website to be informative and helpful. If you have any queries or should you wish to visit us, then please contact the school and we will be very pleased to help.
