Kingussie High School

Kingussie High School This page has been created to keep people up to date with what's happening at Kingussie High School and to inform people about news, events and fundraisers.

Kingussie High School is a school with traditional values but a modern approach. Where possible we like to support our learners though the use of our local environment and appropriate technology. Situated in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park we are one of 28 secondary schools in the Highland Council area. We have a current school roll of around 400 pupils. There has been a secondary school

in Kingussie since the time of the Columban missionaries but the current building dates from 1970 (with a brand new extension added in 2013). Our pupils come from a very wide geographical area and their parents from all walks of life. We aim to create a happy, learning school with as good examination results as possible, educating pupils in the widest sense whatever their ability. Our Gaelic motto ” Gu Dichiollach” means “With Diligence”. Kingussie High School has six associated primary schools – Aviemore, Alvie (at Kincraig), Dalwhinnie, Gergask (at Laggan), Kingussie and Newtonmore. Our curriculum is in constant development and takes into account of current national guidelines to implement Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence. We also have a wide programme of extra-curricular activities which cover many sports and leisure activities. We have a long established link with the Muloza Community Day Secondary School in southern Malawi which includes a teacher exchange programme and opportunities for pupils in both schools to visit one another. Ian Adamson has been Headteacher of Kingussie High School since December 2018.

🚴‍♀️💙 Kingussie Bikeathon Raises £531.62 for Mikeysline! 💙🚴‍♂️

We are delighted to share that the Kingussie Bikeathon raised an incredible £531.62 for Mikeysline.

Mikeysline has asked us to pass on their sincere thanks to everyone who supported the event. As a grassroots charity that receives no statutory funding, every donation helps them continue providing vital support across the Highlands, Islands and Moray.

A huge thank you to all the pupils, staff, families and community members who took part, donated and supported the Bikeathon. Your efforts will make a real difference to many people.

Special thanks must also go to Kingussie Parent Council, Kingussie Spin Project, Volunteers, and Cycle Friendly School Scotland. Without their support, encouragement and help with organising the event, the Bikeathon would not have been possible.

👏 Well done to everyone involved in this fantastic community effort!

💙🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
