Kilwinning Academy is a six-year, non-denominational, secondary school with an agreed capacity of 1,330 in Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland.

The current building opened to 1st and 2nd year pupils in August 1977, and later was opened to all other school years.

In 2013 a teacher at the school was struck off for making inappropriate remarks to pupils.[1][2]

In 2014 the school was awarded £4000 to support a scheme to get more people involved in sports.[3]

School building

Kilwinning Academy is rated B for the building's condition and sustainability.[4]

Town regeneration

Kilwinning Academy S2 Art and Design pupils in 2010/11 helped Irvine Bay Regeneration in their efforts to refurbish Kilwinning's town centre by creating tiles for a mural for a tunnel leading from the shops and Abbey to the car park.[5][6]
