Cademuir International School was a specialist school located in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
The school, founded by Robert Mulvey in 1990, was created to serve students who are high ability learners and underachievers with high potential.[3]
Latterly based at Crawfordton House, Moniaive, a listed building, it previously operated from near Peebles.
In 2002, the school was ranked second of 418 schools in Scotland for Higher Grade results.[4]
In 2004, an HMI report criticised the school, "particularly in the care and welfare areas of child protection, vetting of staff and restraint".[5] A followup inspection criticised a "lack of stable and effective strategic leadership" on 13 September 2005.[6]
In September 2006 the school finally went of out business due to financial difficulties. Its roll had dropped from 100 pupils to only 34 at the time of its closure.[7]
