Some of our CORE pupils have been in Badaguish for a two night residential trip! Beautiful weather ☀️😎and lots of adventures. Yesterday they learnt bushcraft and canoeing and finished the day off with a delicious barbecue! 🛶🌳🔥. Check out more photos in our Photo Gallery Section.
The Art & Design Department would like to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to our Creative Captain, Olivia Hamkalo. Olivia, who is currently finalising her Advanced Higher Expressive folio, took time out to lead a presentation and talk for prospective Advanced Higher Art & Design students. The opportunity to hear a current candidate speak about their folio work and journey through the AH Art & Design course was of great benefit to those pupils considering the course next year and was much appreciated by all who attended.
As previously notified, the current menu will continue after the Easter holidays. We will be returning on week commencing 21st April to week 1 on the menu.
The menus online here show the additional dates until June.
A reminder that we are taking part in 'Wear A Hat Day' to raise money for Brain Tumour Research tomorrow.
Choose your favourite hat or get creative and make your own!
We look forward to seeing you all with your best hats on!

Last night our Young Enterprise teams delivered their company presentations to an audience of around 200 local business leaders, staff, family & friends at the ‘YES Highland & Moray Finals’, staged in the Strathpeffer Pavilion.
Both teams did incredibly well, showing admirable confidence and skill at what must have been one of the most nerve-wracking moments of their lives so far. Not only this, but they also came away with three well-deserved awards!
• ‘Company of the Year’ Runner Up 2025 – Reed & Relax
• ‘Best Trade Stand’ – Bear-Tastic
• The ‘Innovation’ Award – Bear-Tastic
Massive congratulations to all the pupils, their teacher Holly Wilson and the whole Business department!! … and thanks also to the various other staff who have contributed and supported along the way. 
Huge congratulations to our senior boys who won a thrilling match last night against Dingwall Academy, in the North of Scotland Cup Final last night at Clach Park. FT score was 1-1 going through to penalties, which the boys won 4-3, with Ryan Chalmers saving the last penalty to take us to a win. The last time Inverness Royal Academy won this cup was in 1984! Amazing achievement boys!
This week has seen the ‘final push’ for all our Senior Phase Art & Design pupils to complete their practical folio work ahead of the course deadline. The Art & Design Dept. hosted a ‘Folio Frenzy’ on Wednesday evening for pupils to make further refinements and adjustments to their work. As the Folio Frenzy evening coincided with a Parental Information Evening, our Senior Phase pupils to the opportunity to invite parents to view the artwork preparation. There were many positive comments about the work on display – well done to all our pupils for their hard work & creativity. 🎨👩🏻🎨
Please see our presentation from last night's S2 into S3 Course Choice Parents' Information Evening.
On Tuesday we hosted a series of Girls into Physics and Engineering Workshops. Pupils from our school were joined by girls from Millburn and Alness - nearly 60 pupils in total! These workshops were designed to highlight various applications of physics and engineering and was all organised by the Institute of Physics to encourage more girls to take up opportunities in Physics, Engineering and generally STEM. Presenters and demonstrators came from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Strathclyde and Dundee Universities. Activities included structural design, particle physics, ultrasound, polarisation and light. It is hoped that this event will be staged here again next year. 
Well done and thank you to everyone involved! 🙏🏻
