Plockton High School

Relations with our host school, Plockton High School, are excellent, and our students’ academic achievement is as important to us as their music. All of the Centre students are encouraged to take as full a part in the general life of the school as possible, although in the case of a clash of interests their music activities take precedence.

The students of the Traditional Music Centre are completely integrated into school life, and the Centre is widely regarded as an asset to the school.

The school roll is around 300 including students from Centre. The current rector of the High School is Ms Jo Scott-Moncrieff.
