Key to the work of Alloa Academy is caring for its young people and ensuring that they are fully prepared for life now and in the future.

Alloa Academy has a strong culture of formal and informal learning supported through activities across the school. Learning is there for everyone irrespective of their role, level of experience or responsibility.

Staff are empowered to make decisions about their learning through the school’s culture of leadership at all levels. The voice of the staff and the young people in the school is respected, valued and recognised resulting in a real belief that everyone can contribute to shaping the school.

The school’s young people recognise the impact that staff professional learning has on their experience. As one young person said, “it is the little things they change and then like a ripple you can see it happening across the school.”
