Save our "Waid Academy"!
Listen to local people and retain the title " The Waid Academy"
Why is this important?

A former Deputy Rector, now aged 96, who help to educate three generations of students is deeply saddened. Whilst the future is important, we should always learn from the past. The Waid Academy has set and produced the highest standards of education. It has served the East Neuk for 130 years. It opened on 6th December1886 and was financed using a bequest left by Lt Andrew RN. It's purpose was to to provide secondary education for the East Neuk of Fife. Most of the people who still live in the area, plus other who left for pastures new were students there and received a top class education. "The Waid Academy" is their's, In these uncertain times,we all need something to cherish, our "Academy", fits the bill perfectly.
