Inverclyde Academy is a secondary school in Greenock, Scotland that provides education to the majority of the Inverclyde area. The catchment area for the Academy stretches from the Inverclyde border at Wemyss Bay to Greenock's East End and Strone Farm areas. The school was created by the amalgamation of Greenock High School and Wellington Academy and cost £29 million to open.〔("New £29m school is a moving time for pupils" ), Evening Times, 28 September 2007〕 ==History== The school was built on the site of three red blaes (gravel) football pitches.〔("Site of Inverclyde Academy" ), Geograph British Isles〕 Nicol Stephen, Deputy First Minister of Scotland, cut the first sod at the site on 26 February 2007.〔("Work starts on new school" ), The Scottish Government, 26 February 2007〕 Initially, following the merger, the school was split between the old sites of Greenock High School and Wellington Academy. In September 2007 the students went on strike in protest about the teaching time lost commuting between the two sites.〔("Travel-sick pupils go out on strike" ), Eric Baxter, Greenock Telegraph, 2 October 2007〕 As a result, Inverclyde Council decided that, from January 2008, all pupils would be housed at a temporary site at Inverkip Road until the new campus could be occupied.〔("New Academy pupils to be under one roof" ), Inverclyde Council, 26 September 2007〕〔("Strike pupils win battle with council" ), Eric Baxter, Greenock Telegraph, 28 September 2007〕 The new site opened on 19 December 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inverclyde Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
