Welcome to the Mintlaw Academy Website 

Our website aims to keep pupils, staff, parents/carers, partners, and the wider community informed about the life and work of our school.

Mintlaw Academy is a close-knit community where every child is known, supported, and encouraged to thrive. We set high expectations for every learner and are committed to realising our school vision for each learner.

Every pupil leaves Mintlaw Academy as a better version of themselves, ready to succeed in all aspects of life.

This vision underpins everything we do. Our curriculum is designed to help learners develop relevant skills and attributes, achieve meaningful qualifications, and prepare for life beyond school. We also offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities, encouraging all pupils to explore new interests, build friendships, and grow personally.

Our core values—Respect, Aspiration, Inclusion, Success—are woven into the fabric of daily school life. We strive not only to promote these values but to live them in all that we do.

We work in close partnership with parents and carers, businesses, industry, the third sector, and further and higher education providers. To support continuous improvement, we collaborate with Mintlaw Cluster primary schools and other Aberdeenshire secondary schools. Since 2021, we have benefited from the Excelerate initiative, supported by The Wood Foundation, which has provided funding and training to enhance our curriculum and teaching practices.

In addition to this website, we regularly celebrate achievements on our school Facebook page: @MintlawAcademy.

We plan to update aspects of the website throughout this session. If you are unable to find specific information or have suggestions for improvement, please do not hesitate to contact us.
