Any parent who is interested in sending their child (who will be in P7 at present) to Knox Academy is most welcome to attend. 

There will be an opportunity to have a tour of the school, ask any questions that they might have and meet other prospective parents.

Parents should contact the school if they have any queries or require clarification (01620 823387).

East Lothian Council are changing the way we bank, meaning that Knox Academy will only have one bank account. 

Consequentially all cheques received (eg Activities Week) must now be made payable to East Lothian Council and not the Knox Academy GP Fund as was the case previously.

We have some exciting news... our application has been successful and Knox Academy is the only school in Scotland taking part in the National Theatre of Scotland Exchange 2012 programme at the Macroberts Arts Centre, Stirling from the 2nd to the 7th July 2012. This is an amazing, fully funded, opportunity for our senior students to create a piece of theatre in association with the National Theatre of Scotland and be part of this week long festival.

We are one of eight groups (6 from Scotland (the other 5 are Theatre Companies) and 2 International) that will devise a piece of theatre lasting an hour and that will be shown during Exchange week - with our students taking part in workshops, seeing theatre and meeting like-minded young people from all over the world.

The students involved will work with theatre professionals from all over the UK and take part in quality master classes that will develop their skills in theatre, communication (Both oral and visual) and lifelong skills.

I am sure you will agree that this is an excellent and exciting project. Congratulations to Christopher Thompson, Erin Stewart, Fiona Duncan, Neil Reynolds, David Fairgrieve, Abbie Lindsey, Jocasta Hardie, Lauren Dickson, Sam Turvill, Joy Szymoszowskyj, Simone Samuel , Jordanne Grant, Greg Russell and Beth Revuelta who will all form the NTS company from Knox Academy.

We’ll keep you up to date.
