The majority of information on this site has been updated for session 2025/26.
D&A college courses run on Friday mornings at the Arbroath Campus from 9am until 1pm. The school organises transport from Mearns Academy for pupils.
Attendance at college will result in pupils missing 4 periods of class every week. It is the responsibility of pupils to catch up on any work missed as a result.
