Tain Royal Academy is a secondary school in Highland, Scotland. The school first opened in 1813, with a new building opened in 1969 and an educational campus currently being built, due to open in 2026. Tain Royal Academy is part of the Golspie, Invergordon & Tain associated school group, consisting of Golspie High School, Invergordon Academy and Tain.
As of January 2017[update] it has a school roll of 590 pupils.[1]
In 1809 a royal charter was signed by King George III for an academy to be built in Tain.[2] The school opened in 1813. A new school building was opened in 1969, extended in 1978.[3]
A £45 million campus with facilities catering for three to 18 year olds is to be located near the existing Tain Royal Academy site. In 2015, these plans were approved by Highland Council and then Scottish Government Ministers.[4][5]
