Roman Catholic secondary school in the south ofAyr in southwestScotland . Queen Margaret is state-run by South Ayrshire Council and takes children aged 11 to 18 from the whole of South Ayrshire and parts ofEast Ayrshire . When the lower school leaving age rose to 15, Ayr Academy did not have the capacity for all the secondary school children in Ayr so Queen Margaret had to be rebuilt. The current buildings at Queen Margaret Academy were constructed in 1977.Motto
