Common questions
- What kind of school is Stranraer Academy?
- Stranraer Academy is a secondary school in Stranraer.
- Has Stranraer Academy been inspected?
- Education Scotland inspects a sample of schools each year rather than every school on a fixed cycle, and it has not yet inspected Stranraer Academy, so no report is shown. That is common and is not a mark against a school.
- How big is Stranraer Academy?
- Stranraer Academy has 973 pupils on roll.
- Does Stranraer Academy publish exam results?
- Scotland does not publish school-level attainment under an open licence, so this page shows the pupil-census figures its government does release, such as the school roll, rather than exam results. Its inspection report is on the Education Scotland website.
School details and pupil characteristics come from the Scottish Government's school contact list and pupil census. Inspection information comes from Education Scotland. OfferDay links to each inspection report rather than reproducing it. This page was last updated on 8 July 2026.
