Perth Academy

The Viewlands site, the largest local authority school site in Scotland, was opened in 1932 to accommodate the expanding Academy population.

Designed by T Aikman Swan, the neo-Georgian block with cupola was extended with a Science block in the 1960s. The sports complex, workshops and additional classrooms were added in the 1990s. Perth Academy is one of few schools with its own war memorial.

On Doors Open Day, we would like to showcase the work done by our 'Flowers of the Forest' memorial group that commemorates each of the men named who fell in the First World War.

In addition, a range of historical documents and photographs (from Perth and Kinross Council Archive) will be on display in the school library.
