History
Stromness Academy was originally opened in 1875 in the town centre of Stromness.[4] In the 1980s, Stromness Academy was rebuilt in its current location, just outside the Garson Industrial Estate on the east side of Stromness, with the new building officially opening on 11 September 1990.[5] A large extension was added in 2009, which included a music department, and PE and guidance facilities.[6]
