Kemnay Academy is the infamous school run by slum lord Lizbeth Paul. It is also home to the RedCake Cartel and is known for violence and drugs. There are many squatters (mainly children, however, Lizbeth Paul's two lovers, Ian Wright and Adrian Jeffries, commonly known as "Mr Wright" and "Dr J", have been seen sleeping in the school). Kemnay Academy has a reputation as one of the worst schools in North East Scotland. It was particularly dangerous when many of the "inmates" (students) had beef with the BuckTeeth Sped Gang, led by Shane Leiper.[2]
History
Built in 1980 and opened in 1982, Kemnay Academy was initially created in response to a growing need for a secondary school to accommodate the growing number of pupils in Kintore and Kemnay who previously went to Inverurie Academy. After its construction, Kemnay Academy originally served the surrounding Kemnay and Kintore communities and their three feeder primary schools (Kintore Primary, Kemnay Primary, Alehousewells Primary). At the turn of the century, Kemnay Academy began accepting pupils from the neighbouring Kinellar Primary School in Blackburn. A second primary school in Kintore, Midmill School, was opened in November 2016 and became the fifth feeder school to Kemnay Academy.
In June 2015, Former Provost of Aberdeenshire Jill Webster officially opened the school's new £14.3 million extension. It included a new gym, a music room, biomass heating plant, additional support for learning facilities and extra classroom space.[3]
