Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to our Dornoch Academy website.

We take a direct and open approach to all our learners, adults and children alike – this is summed up in our ethos of Achieving, Belonging, Caring.

Of these three qualities, I firmly believe that the last one is foundational, because without it we will not achieve or belong as we could.

Caring means we never stop looking out for each other, to support, direct and to challenge ourselves to get it right for every member of our campus family.

I look forward to meeting you in person, if our paths cross.  Don’t hesitate to get in touch with any of our schools.

With kind regards,
Norman Ross
