Grange Academy is a non-denominational secondary school based in Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire, Scotland. The current school estate was constructed in 2007, with the new campus, Grange Campus, opening in 2008 which also houses Annanhill Primary School and Park School.

The original Grange Academy opened to pupils and staff in August 1966.

Grange Campus

In September 2008, the new Grange Campus was completed and incorporated Grange Academy, Annanhill Primary School and Park School. The opening of the campus was pushed back from August 2008 to October 2008.

Grange Academy plays host to a SRU 'School of Rugby'.[1] In 2012, the school was selected as the Ayrshire base for the Scottish Football Association's Performance Schools, a system devised to support the development of the best young talented footballers across the country (there are seven such schools across Scotland). As of 2018, the dedicated coach for the young players at Grange Academy is James Grady.[2]
