Welcome
Head Teacher’s Welcome
At Lossiemouth High School, our strength lies in our community - a community that believes in every young person’s potential and works together to help them thrive. Whether you are a pupil, parent, member of staff, partner organisation or a visitor, you are part of a school that is ambitious for its learners and proud of its place in the heart of the community.
Our vision captures who we are and what we stand for: “We champion kindness, high expectations and the belief that everyone can achieve their dreams.”
This vision is rooted in our shared values of Ambition, Respect and Kindness. These values shape our relationships, guide our decisions and define the culture we build every day. They remind us that success is not only about achievement, but about how we treat one another and how we contribute to the wider community we serve.
Our motto - “Be Kind, Dream Big.” - expresses the spirit of Lossiemouth High School in just four words. It reflects our belief that kindness creates the conditions for learning, and that dreaming big opens doors to future possibilities. It is a message we expect to see lived out in classrooms, corridors, and in every interaction across our school.
We want Lossiemouth High School to be a place where young people are known, valued and supported to grow. We are committed to high-quality learning and teaching, strong relationships, and a culture where everyone feels included and able to succeed. Together - pupils, staff, families and partners - we are building a school community that is aspirational, welcoming and ready for the future.
Be Kind. Dream Big! And welcome to Lossiemouth High School.
Best wishes,
Caroline Boyd
Head Teacher

EMA is a weekly allowance of £30 per week payable to eligible young people who stay on in full-time education after their 16th birthday and participate in an Activity Agreement. If your family earns up to £24,421 a year, or £26,884 if you have more than one child, your child may be eligible to receive EMA payments. Further information can be found on the Moray Council website, or by contacting the Revenues Team on 01343 563456 or by emailing revenues@moray.gov.uk.
If your child currently receives EMA payments, you must complete a new EMA form for 2022/23 - you can apply online or request a form from the School Office.
