Forres Academy is a comprehensive community school serving the town of Forres, Scotland, and its rural catchment area in west Moray. As in other Scottish schools, pupils are able to leave after the fourth year of schooling; therefore, the fifth and sixth years are not compulsory.

Catchment area

The school serves the villages of Alves, Dallas, Dyke, Logie, Kinloss (including children of Army[2] personnel) and Findhorn (including the nearby Findhorn Community)[3]

Some students transfer from an area Rudolf Steiner school.[3]

Location

The school is located next to Forres Swimming Pool and is also near to Applegrove Primary School and is a short walk from both the TESCO store for Forres and the high street.
