Milne's High School is a secondary school in Fochabers, Moray, Scotland.
The school's feeder primaries are Milne's Primary School, Lhanbryde Primary School and Mosstodloch Primary School. The school is divided into four houses: Spey 1, Spey 2, Tynet 1, Tynet 2 and Inchberry. The current head teacher is Jemma Playfair.[2]
Milnes High School was bequeathed by entrepreneur Alexander Milne and was built in 1846 to a design by Thomas Mackenzie. The building was superseded as the secondary school when the new Milne's High School was built, being completed in 1989.[3]
In 2014, an education review suggested that Milne's be closed and its pupils attend neighbouring schools.[4] This suggestion was responded to poorly by the local residents, and many locals primarily from Fochabers and Mosstodloch showed up in protest to prevent the decision for the school's closure to be made. The protests were joined by then Member of Parliament for Moray, Angus Robertson.[5] A final decision was made in November 2014 guaranteeing it would be kept open.[6]
