Millburn Academy

Millburn Academy (Gaelic: Acadamaidh Allt a' Mhuilinn) is a six-year secondary school in Inverness, Scotland. It serves the portion of Inverness east of the River Ness along with rural areas to the south of the city's reach, with a catchment area that includes the primary schools of Crown, Daviot, Drakies, Inshes, Raigmore and Strathdearn. The school runs parallel to the 'Mill Burn' which was originally used for a Whisky distillery. The distillery is now gone and has been replaced by a chain hotel. Millburn Academy opened for pupils in August 1961, although at that time it was known as Millburn Junior Secondary School. In its early years Millburn Junior Secondary School catered for pupils in the first three, and later four, years of secondary, but in 1967 the school name was changed to Millburn Secondary School, showing the direction in which the school was developing. For a period after 1967, the introduction of comprehensive education meant that Millburn Academy accommodated all pupils on the east side of Inverness for the first 2 years of their secondary education, after which the more able transferred to Inverness Royal Academy to continue their education while the others remained at Millburn Secondary School. In 1967 the school was renamed as Millburn High School for a short time, but after pressure from parents it was re-designated as Millburn Academy. The arrangement with Inverness Royal Academy ended in 1977 and from 1979 Millburn Academy could concentrate on being the sixth year secondary school for the catchment area - Crown, Drakies, Inshes, Milton Of Leys, Raigmore, Moy, Daviot and Raigbeg Primary Schools, including pupils living in the area who attended Bishop Eden Primary School and St. Josephs R.C. Primary School. Through the 1980s the school developed into a six year secondary. The current at Millburn academy is Johnny Croal ( elected in 2019).
