Shithole
Constantly bullied, the school does shit all about it. Stay away from Annan academy it is the worst place to go to.
Pls stay away
Leave as soon as possible or preferably don’t come near
Glad to finally be out.
As a former student, my experience at Annan Academy was terrible, especially around my final year. I've had several friends who have been (and likely still are) bully victims, myself included, and very little is done about it. No, isolation, sending them outside the classroom, sending them to detention, etc does nothing. They don't learn anything, and they clearly aren't interested to learn. I even wasn't able to get into a N5 Maths Course, despite being promised that for about three years after completing my N4 Course, due to "lack of resources", despite having many empty spaces in my S6 Timetable, which would've easily have provided space to add Maths (laughably, I had managed to complete my N5 English Course as normal).
I worry for the Primary school children who will be coming to this Secondary School in the future. There are barely any good role models from the older kids, shown by their lack of uniform and showing respectful, willing behaviour. Several people use the bathrooms as gossiping and vaping hideouts during break and lunch, and I've, more often than not, seen litter dumped everywhere, even in the toilets and sinks, and toilet paper scattered around like party streamers. (Oh, AND half of the girls' toilets don't work, and there has still been no new soap vats implemented in there for more than a year now.)
If the staff REALLY want to improve their school's environment, I suggest they actually toughen up against misbehaving students, give them the proper education they need for the future, get things fixed and more secured to make their atmosphere more appealing and safe, and stop thinking stopping bullying works the same way as decorating the school walls with Anti-Bullying posters.

don’t send your kids here.
staff constantly preaches about Annan Academy being a “safe place” yet continues to do nothing about the constant bullying of queer/neurodivergent/minority pupils. it’s genuinely sickening to see, coming from someone who has had to endure this crap for nearly four years nonstop since I got here. educate your pupils properly and actually put an effort into stopping bullying, instead of just prancing around and turning a blind eye to the constant bigotry that goes on at this school.
Don’t
Don’t go don’t go near just don’t it’s a shithole
Amazing school
Has to be one of the best school i have been in and ever will be in!
Don't go
This place is a shite hole
