Welcome to Harlaw Academy

 

Harlaw Academy is a six-year comprehensive secondary school situated close to the junction of Union Street and Holburn Street in the centre of the city of Aberdeen. The Academy draws most of its pupils from our 4  associated primary schools, namely, Broomhill, Ferryhill, Hanover Street and Kaimhill, although we also have significant numbers from outside the zone.

We are happy to hear from the community at our email address harlawacademy@aberdeencity.gov.uk
