We are all extremely sad to see this group of young adults leaving Stewarton Academy today. They have been a credit to themselves, their families and the school community. Well done S6

Today, Stewarton Academy said a fond farewell to Mrs Myles, our beloved day cleaner, who is retiring after 37 years service to the school. Mrs Myles spent every single day exhibiting the warmth and love that shapes young lives and makes pupils feel safe & welcome. Thank you Mari.
Today, we said an emotional goodbye to Mrs Richardson, who leaves us after almost 30 years of service to Stewarton Academy to begin a long and happy retirement. We are so grateful for everything you have done for our pupils, school & community, Mrs Richardson. You will be missed.
Final tweet- thank you so much to everyone for making today so special. I am overwhelmed by everyone’s kind words, cards & gifts. I’ve loved my time at Stewarton & I hope the next HT has as much fun as I’ve had - Mrs H

Unsurprisingly, Teams and Show My Homework are slow and experiencing huge demand this morning. Stay relaxed and do what you can. This is day one and it will settle down. You don't need anything else to stress about at the moment.

Special mention to our new S1 pupils. You looked amazing in your uniforms and started what we hope will be a fantastic journey at Stewarton Academy. You were so good, we’ll give you the day off tomorrow and see you on Friday. Don’t get used to it 😉.
It was a wonderful first day today. It has been great to have our young people around the school and there was a very positive buzz as we settle back into learning. The good conduct was impressive. Thanks to pupils, parents, carers and staff for making this happen.
Tomorrow morning will see the launch of our ‘P7 Virtual Transition Programme’ on the Stewarton Academy YouTube Channel - we start with a message from Mrs Ward and a clip from one of our subject areas - who could it be? Watch this space for more information!

Hard to describe how good it was to have our pupils back and hear their voices carry down the corridors. So much work to get here and still the need for care and caution but I couldn’t be prouder of our school community today. S2, S3 and S4, see you tomorrow! ❤️
