Welcome from our Rector

Welcome to the Madras College website. 

Madras College opened in 1833 and takes its name from founder the Rev. Dr Andrew Bell and the educational system he devised. Today, Madras College is a six-year comprehensive secondary school of approximately 1450 learners from across the St Andrews and Taybridgehead area of Northeast Fife. 

Our school and local community are rightly proud of the history and continuing heritage of our school and as Rector, I am delighted to be part of this community and take pride in ensuring that our school embodies the high standards and community values. 

I am always impressed by the commitment and standards shown by staff and pupils to both academic study and the wide range of other opportunities afforded to pupils at Madras College. You will see these achievements recognised and celebrated at regular intervals throughout each session. 

Our agreed school values are Mindfulness, Ambition, Diversity, Respect, Achievement and Success and I strongly believe that when lived and breathed in our daily school life, these will support the personal development and growth of all young people in a supportive yet educationally challenging setting. 

Through my personal beliefs and values is a desire to ensure that every member of our school community feels happy, valued and respected, is supported fairly and has opportunities to progress and experience success to the highest level possible. 

I have high expectations for all of our young people and expect them to be positive, responsible and to become increasingly active ambassadors for others within our school community. I also place these same expectations on myself and colleagues with our key professional values of trust, respect, integrity and social justice, central to what it means to be a member of staff at Madras College. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit our school website and I hope that you find it informative and easy to use. 

If you have any questions or suggestions for items you would find useful on the school website, please get in touch using the contact details at the bottom of our Home Page. 

Best wishes

Mr Ken Currie
