About Our Setting

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 school role as of August 2026 is 15 pupils from Primary 1 to 7. 

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 no children learning with us in the ELC and our ELC is inactive status until new children join us.
