On Thursday 12 May 2011 at 4.30pm a foundation stone was laid at Albyn School to signal the beginning of its £5 million redevelopment project – and one of the most significant periods of development in the school’s 143 year history.
The guest of honour at the ceremony was Professor Celso Grebogi. He is a parent of a current pupil and a world-renowned academic who holds the Sixth Century Chair in Nonlinear and Complex Systems at Aberdeen University. Professor Grebogi will lay the foundation stone for new state-of-the-art science laboratories – the first phase of the redevelopment project.
Miss Gemma Neal, Marketing Director at Albyn School, said; “This is an exciting time for us all. The School is at the outset of a major new phase in its development, one that is likely to secure Albyn’s future for another generation of pupils. We’re delighted to welcome Professor Grebogi to kick-start the project. His presence continues a long association between the School and Aberdeen University. Two former vice chancellors have opened science laboratories at the School.”
The redevelopment project – expected to take nearly 18 months – is led by Robertson, the infrastructure, support services and construction group and managed by MacLeod and Aitken. In addition to the creation of laboratories for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics with Technology, the project will enable the School to renovate its library, re-model some of its Victorian buildings, construct a new nursery which will allow the nursery classes to be housed on one site, and build a new classroom block to enable the school to offer a wider range of subjects to its pupils.
This ceremony is an important milestone in the history of Albyn School, one of Scotland’s top performing independent schools. The School fought back from possible closure some years ago by becoming co-educational in 2005 and has been growing steadily in recent years.
Albyn School’s chess team has retained the Evening Express Primary School Team Trophy on Saturday 7th May at Mastrick Community Centre. Albyn beat 11 teams this year.
Albyn were tied for 1st place with Laurencekirk after 5 rounds of competition but won the play-off.
The winning team consisted of Ngoni Masiyakurima, Duncan Depesquale, Ross Greig and Alexandra Eagles. Albyn also entered a second team; Tommy Roulson, Chelsea Wong and Seamus Hughes.
Well done to both teams!

Albyn School is an independent, co-educational school with approximately 740 pupils aged 2-18 located in the west end of Aberdeen.
Founded in 1867, Albyn School has evolved to become one of Scotland's leading independent, co-educational day schools. The School has an excellent academic reputation with small classes, well motivated pupils and dedicated teachers who have all contributed to impressive examination results that have helped pupils into their universities of first choice.
Each child is unique and special. From the age of 2 years to the pre-school year every girl and boy goes through an astonishing period of development.
These few years are crucial for your child's future as he or she moves into more formal schooling and then adult life beyond. It is vital therefore to get those first months and years right. In the Albyn Nurseries our aim is to provide a safe, secure and caring environment for all the children in our care. We strive to nurture your child in bright, happy, stimulating and educationally structured surroundings.
Much has been made recently of the importance of providing the kind of atmosphere in which pupils feel happy and secure.
Albyn has always provided an environment that enables each child to blossom and therefore fulfil his or her individual potential. It is evident from our calendar of events that the Lower School children have a busy schedule. In addition, the staff work very hard behind the scenes to coordinate the children's class work to form a cohesive programme enabling them to progress smoothly from year to year.
We recognise that the great majority of pupils who attain places in Albyn's Upper School will eventually progress onto University.
That is why knowledge shapes our curriculum, study programmes, homework and pattern of assessment. We are an academically successful School with a public examination record that rates as among the best in Aberdeen and shire.
On the admissions pages you will find information regarding the admissions process as well as our school prospectus and application for admission forms.
Once you have read through the information please contact us and we will be happy to arrange a visit to the School and give you and your sons and daughters the chance to talk to staff and see the School for yourself.
