School description
Lochaber High School is the six-year comprehensive school which serves the town of Fort William and the greater Lochaber area. The school stands in spectacular surroundings to the north of Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis.The school building is spacious and generally very well equipped. A multi-million pound refurbishment and rebuilding programme – ‘Lochaber 21’ – was recently completed and has brought about considerable improvements to the campus. Our facilities are among the best in Highland. There is a support base for pupils with additional support needs and a behaviour support unit. Set in the ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’, Lochaber High offers a unique and extensive range of extra-curricular activities. Pupils have the opportunity to participate in art, drama, music and sporting activities as well as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and charity fundraising events. There are strong links with the Commando Veterans’ Association who visit the school at Remembrance weekend each year. The school has arranged an extensive programme of educational trips in this country and abroad including S2 Outdoor Activities, S6 London, ‘Mediterranean Water Sports’, Iceland, Paris, New York, China and Skiing in the French Alps.Major events in the school calendar include an annual fundraising hike, School Show, Christmas dances and, at the end of S6, a Graduation Ceremony and ball.
