Braeview Academy was a secondary school in Dundee, Scotland. Situated on top of a steep hill (brae), it was originally named Whitfield High School. It was damaged in a fire on 11 September 2018, which destroyed around half of the building.

In 2021, Dundee City Council decided to merge Braeview with the nearby Craigie High School with a new community campus on the site of the former St Saviour's High School which is to open in August 2025.[3]

Houses

The school is divided into 3 main houses: McManus, Law and Discovery. Each house is served by a Depute Rector, and also House Captains which are chosen every year.

  • McManus: House Colour: burgundy, Head of House: Mr Clarkson[4]
  • Discovery: House Colour: blue, Head of House: Mrs Telfer [5]
  • Law: House Colour:blue, Head of House: Mrs McPherson[6]
