Supporting Students
Kirkcudbright Academy and its staff provide a variety of support sessions throughout the academic year and are available daily to discuss with students any difficulties they may have in their learning. Staff are delivering Study Sessions in school and an updated list and times of these sessions can be found below and on our Facebook page.
The following links highlight the support that is available online through various providers. Students should use these sites to support their learning in the classroom and as part of their revision programme for the final exams.
Staff throughout the Academy give up their time to support students in their studies providing Study Classes across both Lunch and After School.

The Academy recently invested in the Revision App, Achieve. This app has revision notes and self assessment material for most of the National, Higher and some Advanced Higher courses we offer at the school.
