Welcome

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Lossiemouth High website which provides a wealth of information about our school. We do hope that you find it both useful and informative.

Our school vision is: 'Lossiemouth High School is committed to striving for success, ensuring everyone feels included and valued and achieves their potential in a welcoming and safe environment'. We achieve our vision through our agreed values: Respect, Effort, Resilience and Responsibility.  These enable us to realise our aim 'to develop respectful, resilient, resourceful and aspirational young adults, in a community to be proud of' and our mission of 'working together to make ambitions a reality'.

We are very proud of our school and our website enables us to share key information and also celebrate the successes of our pupils and staff.  We very much look forward to working with you - please do not hesitate to get in touch should you require any further information.
