Strathaven Academy is a non-denominational secondary school in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
History
In 1902, Avondale School Board decided to merge two local primary schools; Crosshill and Ballgreen and create a new "Academy". The merge went ahead and the new Academy building was opened in January 1905 by Thomas McKay, Chairman of the school board.[1]
The building was a red sandstone building with ornamental features such as vases on the roof, cupolas, school logo carved in the wall and a central hall. The hall had a solid oak roof, similar to a hammerbeam, a balcony running all the way around the perimeter, allowing access to the classrooms on the upper floor, staircases on either side of the hall.[citation needed] This building was demolished in 2007.
Admissions
It has a roll of approximately 950 children. There are approximately 80 members of teaching staff and 20 in facilities management, administration and janitorial.
School facilities
The new school building opened in 2009, replacing the previous one which had become dilapidated and out of date. The new building provides facilities for all departments, including PE facilities and an all-weather sports pitch.
