Largs Campus is a campus containing Largs Academy, Largs Primary St Mary’s Primary and Largs Early Years. It opened in March 2018, serving the towns of Largs, Fairlie, Skelmorlie and the island of Cumbrae, and the academy takes placement requests from across Scotland, from places such as West Kilbride, Beith and Renfrewshire. The SMT of Largs Academy are Mr Heather Burns, Mrs Hazel McLolland, Mrs Alison McDougle, Mr Colin Frew and Mrs Barry Wilson [2] [3]. The campus is in partnership with SportsScotland, providing what is believed to be the largest Fitness and Sports gym in the United Kingdom.

Early Years

Work on the Campus began in August 2016 with a budget of £52 million in partnership with North Ayrshire Council, Hub South West and Morrison Construction.[4] The state of the art facility will support more than 2,000 students ranging from age 3 to 18, merging Brisbane and Kelburn Primary into Largs Primary as well as including St Mary's Primary School, Largs Academy and an Early Years Nursery.

Largs Primary, St Mary's Primary and Early Years nurseries moved into the new Campus March 12 2018, with Largs Academy moving in April 18 2018.

The Academy departments

The Academy has 2 main buildings, North building and South Building. The north building houses the Art, Modern Languages, Social Subjects, English, Drama, RMPS, Physical Education, Home Economics and Design and Technology departments. The south building houses Maths, Science, IT [5] and the main offices such as the Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teachers and reception.

Feeder schools

Largs Campus’ feeder schools are Cumbrae Primary School, Fairlie Primary School, Largs Primary, St Mary’s Primary and Skelmorlie Primary School. Children from West Kilbride, Beith and Renfrewshire can also attend Largs Campus via placement request.
