St Michael's Academy

The School

St Michael's Academy is a six-year denominational secondary school serving a widely dispersed catchment area of North Ayrshire, including the towns of Beith, Dalry, Irvine and Kilbirnie as well as Kilwinning and its surrounding rural areas.

This breadth of catchment area means that some two-thirds of the pupils travel to school by contract bus.

The school, which was originally founded in Irvine in 1921, opened on its present site in 1965 and was extended and renovated in 1983. It has a capacity of 1043 and occupies an attractive setting in extensive grounds.

It is well equipped, particularly in relation to ICT, and its resources are currently being enhanced through an internal rolling action plan targeting budget savings to previously identified priority areas.
