At Prestwick Academy our school roll is split into 5 House groups. Each house is named after a Scottish Island and contains one or two classes from each year group.

Each house has an assigned Guidance Teacher, Depute Head and Pupil Support Teacher. By using the this house system model siblings are allocated to the same house. This means that the family have one main point of contact (PTG) at the school for their child/children and also means that the Guidance teacher will be able to develop a relationship with the family.

Here are our 5 houses and their respective Guidance Teacher, Depute Head and Pupil Support Teacher:
