A very warm welcome toGalashiels Academy

I'm proud to have recently joined the school as Head Teacher and I'm looking forward to working with our pupils, staff, parents, carers and the wider community. Even in my short time here, it's clear that Galashiels Academy is a school with strong values, a sense of pride in the community and a commitment to giving every young person the best possible opportunities.

Our vision is to provide the values, skills and qualifications to be the best we can be. Guided by our core values of Effort, Respect and Ambition, we aim to create a safe, inclusive, and ambitious environment where pupils feel valued, challenged and inspired to succeed.
