St Kentigern's Academy

How our values will let St Kent’s Flourish!

🌿 Let St Kent’s Flourish 🌿 We celebrated our Feast Day Mass of St Kentigern with Archbishop Cushley and proudly launched our new school values: FLOURISH – Faith, Learning, Opportunity, Unity, Reflection, Integrity, Service & Hope. Created by our whole school community

Hope to see you at our Christmas Concert

Fantastic Inservice today focused on developing our House identity with help from our amazing pupils! 💙💚💛 Together we explored how the spirit of St Margaret, St Columba, and St Ninian can shine through our school life. Great teamwork and shared ownership across our community!

Great to welcome Joe Kelly from Aid to the Church in Need who worked with our Caritas pupils to prepare for #RedWednesday on 19 Nov. ❤️ A powerful reminder of faith, courage & solidarity. ✝️ #Caritas #FaithInAction #CatholicEducation

Our St Carlo Acutis exhibition has come to an end with our final procession with the sacred relic before Holy Mass. St Carlo has been an inspiration to our school community with all pupils learning about our newest saint.

A huge well done to our incredible S6 pupils for organising today’s St Kentigern’s Academy Culture Day! 🎉 A fantastic celebration of the diverse cultures, languages & traditions that make our school community so special. #StKentigernsAcademy #CultureDay #Diversity #Inclusion

Today we were blessed to welcome the St Carlo Acutis exhibition to our school. We began with a procession of a holy relic of St Carlo with all of our community joining either in person or online. All of our young people will get to hear the story of St Carlo during the week.

Please come and join us.

Our new building is making great progress! Our pupil voice group were in surveying the excellent progress!

Today our S6 received some valuable financial advice for their futures. Thanks to the teams from Money Ready and HMRC for visiting us to deliver this input.

Today, our St Kent’s community comes together to mark World Mental Health Day. This year’s theme — “Access to Services” — reminds us that everyone deserves the right support, at the right time, wherever! #WorldMentalHealthDay #StKentsCommunity #WellbeingForAll #AccessToServices

Our S1 pupils have been learning about stewardship of creation as part of their RE studies, inspired by Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’. Today, they put their learning into practice by taking part in a litter pick around our school grounds and local community. 💪 #LaudatoSi

Huge well done to our S4–S6 girls who proudly represented the school at the Scottish Handball Girls’ Championships today! Despite it being their first ever handball tournament, the team showed incredible determination, improved with every game, and worked brilliantly together!

An exciting night ahead celebrating our learners achievements. Invitations to pupils, parents and carers will be out soon.

Huge well done to our Caritas pupils who led today’s #RestartAHeart event 🙌 Every member of our community took part in CPR training, joining thousands nationwide in a world record attempt. A proud day of learning lifesaving skills together! #Caritas #LifeSavingSkills
