Congratulations to Lomond, our house champions for the 23/24 school year! 🏆
Our pupils have been working hard all year, earning points through participation, sports, registration activities, rights respecting quizzes and may more ways. As a reward, students from Lomond enjoyed a special treat - an ice cream van visit at school followed by an afternoon of games and fun activities! 🍦🎈
A huge well done to all the pupils in Lomond for their fantastic achievement! 🌟 And a big shoutout to all our houses - Wyvis, Nevis, Glamaig, and Slioch - for their efforts this year. 👏
Here's to another brilliant year ahead! Good luck to all our houses for the upcoming school year! #HouseWinners #SchoolChampions #CelebrationTime #InvernessRoyalAcademy

Battlefields Tour 2024 – Day One
After a long journey our group arrived in Belgium, first going to Tyne Cott Cemetery, where they visited the grave of former Royal Academy pupil, F. M. Mackenzie, killed during the Battle of Passchendaele. We then travelled to the German war grave site of Langemark, before heading to Ypres to spend time at the ‘In Flanders Field’ Museum.
Battlefields Tour 2024 – Day Two
On the second day of the Battlefields Tour pupils visited the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 – a fascinating museum with an extensive collection of artefacts as well as a ‘Dugout Experience’ and a trench system. Following this the group laid a wreath at the Frezenberg Ridge Scottish Memorial. With free-time in the afternoon, pupils (& staff) had an opportunity to sample Belgian chocolates. Later that evening, the group attended ‘The Last Post’ ceremony at the Menin Gate, where a wreath was laid on behalf of the school.
Battlefields Tour 2024 – Day Three & Four then home…
The third day of the Battlefields Tour saw the long journey from Belgium to France an the area of the Somme. First visiting the Canadian National Vimy Memorial and Park, the group then travelled to Beaumont Hamel Newfoundland Memorial Park. Here the group laid a wreath at the Monument to the 51st Highland Division. The last two stops of the day were at the imposing Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme and finally, the Lochnagar Crater. The following day the pupils went to this place called ‘Disneyland’ and then it was the long trek home…

S3 Biologists took to the shore at Fort George last week! Crabs, seagrass, lugworms and elusive dolphins and humpback whales were the order of the week. Huge thanks to the volunteers of the Marine Conservation Society, Moray Ocean Community Project and Whale and Dolphin Conservation who gave their time and talents to work alongside our students and give them an insight into Citizen Science.

Virtual Evening - Wednesday 22nd May – 5pm - Booking is now open!
This is your chance to meet with your child's class teachers and discuss the progress they are making in their subjects. Due to the size of the year group and the number of staff who have multiple S1 classes; you may not be able to book an appointment with every subject teacher. In a school of our size this has always been an issue. This year however we are trialling a hybrid model of a main ‘in person’ evening (taking place tonight - booking now closed) and then another opportunity to book appointments as part of a virtual evening. The virtual parents’ evening should only be used as a ‘top up’ and not the main evening for your bookings. Please refer to the criteria check list; there are three criteria for making these appointments and you must meet at least one of them so we can offer as many slots as fairly as possible.
Don't miss this valuable opportunity to connect with our dedicated teaching staff.
