St Andrews Academy

St Andrews Academy

St Andrew's Academy was a Roman Catholic secondary school in the Ayrshire seaside town of Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, Scotland.

The School was formed in 1971 when the Education System changed from Senior & Junior Secondary Schools to a Comprehensive system. Previously, Roman Catholic pupils who passed the old '11+' exam attended the Senior Secondary at St Michael's in Kilwinning; those who failed attended St Peter's Junior Secondary in Ardrossan. The 'new' St Andrew's was the old Saltcoats Junior Secondary School which ceased to exist when the new Auchenharvie Academy opened in Stevenston. St Andrew's had a very large catchment area, from Skelmorlie in the North, Largs, Fairlie, Seamill/West Kilbride, Ardrossan, Saltcoats to Stevenston in the South.

St Andrews always excelled both academically and on the sporting field. The school always acquitted itself well in the Government League tables.
