Peebles High School is a state run comprehensive school for girls and boys aged 11–18[a] located in Peebles in the Scottish Borders. It was originally named Bonnington Park Academy in 1858. Since then, it has expanded and is now attended by 1,500 pupils from all over the Tweeddale area.
The school was expanded in 2000 when The Millennium Wing was added. This expansion meant a great increase in size and capacity including a Learning Resource Centre and entire business suite. A new sports centre was completed in 2014.
In 2013, the school was ranked 28th in Scotland for Higher exam passes.[1]
The school was damaged severely by a serious fire on 28 November 2019, which burned down approximately a third of the school and forced its closure for several weeks.
