History

Moffat Academy traces its history to the local grammar school founded in 1639 by Dr Johnstone. During the 1810s, the school entered a low period as there were suspicions that the funds endowed by Dr Johnstone's estate were misused. It then merged with a local parish school in 1834 and named "Moffat Academy". Until the construction of new premises beginning in 2007, the school was housed on the same site for over 150 years. In 1988, the sixth year was added, meaning pupils could now attend the school all the way to age 18. The Academy moved to its new premises in 2010.
