This school was opened to the pupils on April 9th 1877 and before that they used a tin shed positioned where the Bully Inn is now. The first recorded attendance at the tin school was in 1866, with the Headmaster being Mr. Alexander Lamont who left in August 1876 when Mr. Hugh Jack took over until 1889. Mr. William Marshall was head until 1920.

Eco Council
The children in our new Eco Council would like to ask parents and friends to help our school to achieve ‘Leaves@ from Generation Green. This website encourages us all to think of ways to help the environment.
We would ask you to look at the website www.generationgreen.co.uk and follow instructions to make our own ‘manifesto’. In this you can select ways to help our ecology. After creating your document you will be asked to download it. You will then register 200 leaves which can be donated to a registered school which of course is our school.
Thank you
