Senior Management team
As of August 2012, the headteacher is Mrs Heather Burns. She is currently followed by three deputy head teachers, Mrs H McClelland, Mr A MacDougall and Mrs A Anderson. The previous Headteacher, Arthur Jones, retired at the end of the 2011/2012 session after nine years as Headteacher.
Feeder schools
Largs Academy has six feeder schools, St. Mary's Primary School, Brisbane Primary School, Cumbrae Primary School, Fairlie Primary School, Kelburn Primary School and Skelmorlie Primary School. Also, the majority of children from Beith and Renfrewshire attend Largs Academy instead of the surrounding academies.
Bus Crash
During a school trip to Barcelona 27 June 2002, a coach that was carrying a party of students and teachers from Largs Academy, crashed on the A6 motorway link road at Bierre-les-Semur, near Dijon, France at about 4AM BST.
Two pupils and three teachers were hospitalized with serious injuries, with at least five others suffering minor injuries. One of the injured teachers lost an arm as the bus rolled. One life was also lost in the crash, Katherine Fish, who was a 4th year student at the school.
After the crash, a memorial plaque was put up in the Largs Academy Music Department in memory of Katherine.
