Milne's High School

Milne's High School is a secondary school in Fochabers, Moray, Scotland.

Milne's High School
Milne's Primary School. Built in 1846 to a design by Thomas Mackenzie, this fine building was superseded as the secondary school when the new Milne's High School was built. A few years ago there was a major controversy when the council wanted to build a new primary school and abandon this one, but the parents and villagers won the argument and this is still Milne's Primary School.

The school's feeder primaries are Milne's Primary School, Lhanbryde Primary School and Mosstodloch Primary School and it is divided into three houses: Spey 1, Spey 2, Tynet 1 and Tynet 2

In 2014, an education review suggested that Milne's be closed and its pupils attend neighbouring schools.[3] A final decision was made in November 2014 guaranteeing it would be kept open.[4]

During the COVID-19 pandemic (2020 - 2022+) the school faced multiple Head teacher changes[5] including Mrs T Cameron to Mrs C Boyle and Mrs C Boyle to Miss J Playfair (2022).
