Saint Joseph's Academy, Kilmarnock

Saint Josephs' Academy (Scottish Gaelic: Acadamaidh Naomh Iòsaph) is a Roman Catholic secondary school in New Farm Loch, Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland.

A long-standing inter-authority arrangement sees a small number of primary seven pupils attending St. Xavier’s Primary School in Patna, transition to Queen Margaret Academy located in Ayr, South Ayrshire instead of Saint Josephs' Academy at the start of S1.

Initially built on what was the outskirts of Kilmarnock at the time, the adjacent New Farm Loch estate eventually grew and enveloped the school.

In the early 21st century, a programme was initiated by central government to upgrade secondary schools throughout the country using a mixture of public and private money.

[citation needed] The Campus has a full size synthetic football pitch and during the evenings and weekends is used by East Ayrshire Leisure, whereby local clubs, teams and groups can hire indoor and outdoor facilities.
