Dumfries High School is a 6 year comprehensive school with a school roll of around 1000 pupils. It is situated in a residential area of Dumfries, adjacent to the David Keswick Athletic Centre, which provides excellent facilities both for the school and the local community. Dumfries High School has been located on this site since 1961, and has been expanded and improved throughout the period since. The School is well equipped and well staffed. Recent modernisation has provided excellent facilities, particularly in Music, Physical Education, Science, Computing and Technical Education. This year a number of classrooms across the school have been equipped with Smartboards. As part of the continuing improvement of our facilities the school has been rewired and several new roofs have been erected. A number of areas of the school have been re-painted. It is appreciated that the quality of education offered in any school, regardless of the facilities available, is heavily dependent on the quality of the teaching staff. The school enjoys a very dedicated, professional staff who have built up an excellent relationship with the pupils in their care and who consequently expect to achieve high standards, not only in academic achievement but in all areas such as respect for self and others and in social behaviour. We expect our pupils to work hard and give of their best at all times. We therefore place great emphasis on the highest possible achievement in whatever they do. We seek to encourage regard for moral values, to promote self-respect and to instil respect for others We believe our school should be a place where the children enjoy their schooling; where they can work and develop in atmosphere of happiness, security and order; where they can be relaxed and confident in their relationships Finally we hope that when pupils leave Dumfries High School they will be well equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary for them to take their place in society.

Dumfries Historic Buildings Trust (DHBT) is a 'Building Preservation Trust' (BPT) with charitable status. As such, it is in a position to raise and co-ordinate various forms of finance such as grants from central and local government; low-interest loans from the Architectural Heritage Fund; and donations, gifts in kind, and concessionary loans from companies, charitable trusts, and the general public. The primary aim of the trust is to rescue and preserve and restore historic buildings in and around Dumfries (and potentially further afield) that are at risk of decay or depradation that could lead to their being irreparably damaged - or lost forever. It is intended that the trust will develop and operate a 'revolving fund' for the restoration or conservation of historic buildings to enable their continued and sustainable use. BPTs are voluntary organisations, set up by like-minded individuals who care passionately about the historic built environment and are willing to devote time and effort, mostly without pay or other financial reward, to a good cause. They exist principally in order to save high risk, low return historic buildings in which nobody else is prepared to invest. There are many BPTs throughout the UK and they have saved countless doomed buildings from the brink, by love and labour, where there was no other avenue, and all hope seemed lost. BPTs usually step in where there seems to be no other way to save a building (such as purchase by another sympathetic individual or organisation). DHBT is the first independent BPT dedicated to Dumfries and the Surrounding area, with the intention to help ensure that no more of the distinctive vernacular buildings and historic architecture of this beautiful area is needlessly lost. Dumfries Historic Buildings Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee, registered in Scotland (Company No. 412579), and a Registered Scottish Charity (SCO 42851).
