Welcome to Lockerbie Academy
Welcome to Lockerbie Academy. We strive for a school community that is ambitious, inclusive and committed to achieving the very best for all of our young people.
At Lockerbie Academy, our values of compassion, achieve, respect and equity are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud of the positive relationships between pupils, staff and families, which create a supportive environment where everyone feels safe, valued and ready to learn.
Our core focus is on raising attainment and achievement for all. We are continually working to ensure high-quality learning and teaching in every classroom, supported by effective use of data and meaningful feedback. We want every young person to understand their progress, know their next steps, and feel confident in their ability to succeed.
We are also committed to being a fully inclusive and nurturing school. We recognise that every learner is different, and we strive to provide the right support at the right time so that all pupils can thrive—both academically and personally.
Beyond the classroom, Lockerbie Academy offers a wide range of opportunities for young people to develop their skills, confidence and sense of belonging. Whether through leadership roles, wider achievement or community events, our pupils demonstrate our values every day and represent the school with pride.
We value our strong partnerships with parents, carers and the wider community. By working together, we can ensure that every young person is supported to reach their full potential.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We hope it gives you a real sense of our school and the opportunities available at Lockerbie Academy.
Forward Lockerbie. A caring, learning community.
Vision, Values and Aims
Our new Vision, Values & Aims statement, completed in 2023 sets out a new, clearer ambition for our school.
We see ourselves very much as an integral part of our town and so we embrace fully the town motto and so, we build our vision around improving the future in our local area for our pupils and community. Our twin purpose, to be a place where pupils feel cared for and above all, come here to learn, drives our desire to be the best that we can.
Our Values explain the qualities we all aspire to display. Our aims are the means by which we will achieve our vision; the rules that have served us well for the past few years.
We haven't mastered all of this yet, which is why we want to work in partnership with our parents/carers, pupils and staff to accomplish all of this with and for our town.
Forward Lockerbie.
