Tayvallich Primary School

About our school

The main school building houses classrooms for the P5-7 and P1-4 pupils, a dining room/general purpose space and a space for personalised learning activities for individual pupils.

Our current school role is 19 pupils from Primary 1 to 7. We have 9 pupils in the P1-4 class and 10 pupils in the P5-7 class.

The school is surrounded by a tarmac playground as well as two grassy areas. We are very lucky to have access at lunchtimes to the adjacent public play park as well as local woodlands and coastal areas for outdoor learning opportunities.

Our purpose built Early Years building opened in August 2014, and comprises a large indoor learning space with direct access to its own outdoor learning environment. We currently have 2 children learning with us in the ELC.
