Overview

The Playfair Building

There are over 1300 pupils at Dollar (making it the fourth largest private school in Scotland), divided into three separate schools: the Prep School (Preps I to V for ages 5-10), the Junior School (Juniors I and II for ages 11-13) and the Senior School (Forms I to VI for ages 13 going on 18). About 90 pupils are boarders, the rest are day pupils, either from the village of Dollar itself or 'Travellers' from the surrounding counties of Clackmannanshire, Stirling, Perth and Kinross and Fife.

Dollar is the 11th most expensive school in Scotland (and 8th most expensive boarding school)^[2], and therefore the most expensive Scottish school which follows the Scottish curriculum (the dearer 10 offering A-levels or the International Baccalaureate). Annual fees range from approximately £9,000 for day pupils to approximately £20,000 for boarders, who may board weekly or fully. The school also has a relatively high intake of international students - one of the school's slogans is "Scottish but International".

The school follows the Scottish education system, with pupils sitting a mixture of Standard Grades and Intermediates at the end of FIV and Highers at the end of FV/VI. Though most courses in FVI are at Advanced Higher level, some subjects are studied to A levels. Like Winchester and Eton the school is trialling the Cambridge Pre-U in some subjects.

History

The Revd Dr Andrew Mylne, First Rector of the Academy

Dollar was founded in 1818 at the behest of John McNabb, a merchant and alleged slave trader, who bequeathed part of his fortune - £90,000 - to provide "a charity or school for the poor of the parish of Dollar wheir I was born"^[3]. McNabb died in 1802 but it took another sixteen years before the school opened its doors after much debate about how to use the bequest. McNabb's ashes rest above the Bronze Doors of the Playfair Building. The school was originally known as 'The Dollar Institution' and until the introduction of compulsory primary education in 1887, provided free education for local children who could not afford to pay. Those who could afford it paid on a 'sliding scale'. The original campus was landscaped into several gardens including two ponds. Dollar's first Rector was The Revd Dr Andrew Mylne.

They have won the Bell Lawrie Scottish Schools Under-18 cup three times, in 2003, 2004 and 2005. They were also finalists in 2007 but were defeated by Bell Baxter High School. In 2005, The Daily Telegraph said the school had an "unassailable record in British schools' rugby,"^[4] and The Scotsman reported in 2006 that the school had the longest ever run of undefeated games in the history of Scottish schools rugby.

Architecture

The library before the fire of 1961

The principal school building was designed by renowned Scottish architect William Henry Playfair with its characteristic 'bronze doors'.

Though the majority of pupils do not board, every pupil belongs to a House (girls) or corresponding Quint (boys). Originally there were five boys' houses, instituted in 1911, hence the Dollarism 'quint'. The Quint Cup and House Cup are awarded annually at Prize-Giving. Today there are four Houses/Quints:

Traditions

The Maguire Building

Each year Full Colours and Half Colours are awarded to senior pupils for achievement in sporting or cultural pursuits. These awards merit piping on the school blazer (blue for cultural, white for sporting) and/or a distinctive blazer badge. Sixth year pupils are also given a distinctive silver tie, and prefects wear white and blue bands round the blazer sleeves. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The Senior Six (or 'Top Six') are the most senior prefects in the school, elected by a ballot of Forms IV, V and VI. A number of those with the highest numbers of votes go through to the 'College of Cardinals', among whom a Head Boy, Head Girl and two deputies for each are elected.

Two School Songs were composed in 1912, but neither was officially adopted. "Here in a fair green valley..." by the poet W.K. Holmes and music by Mark Anthony became the official School Song sung at prize-giving each year between 1929-1993. This was then replaced by the Academy Hymn, "O God of Bethel!" until 2007, when the popularity and metaphorical significance of "Will your anchor hold?" (Hymn 412) caused it to be adopted for this purpose. The hymn is known as the 'Dollar Anthem' and is often sung at rugby matches including the Scottish Cup Final.

The Commemoration of the Founder is said by the Head Boy and Head Girl at prize-giving:

Other traditional events in the school calendar include: annual Christmas Dances, Form VI Dinner, Burns' Supper (Form VI), the Summer Ball (Form VI), the Junior Musical, the Senior Musical, the Sixth Form Play, the Christmas Carol Concert, the Teddy Bears' Picnic (Prep School), Prep School Sports Day, Sports Weekend and the biennial Sponsored Walk, which raised over £45,000 in 2007.
