Welcome to Glenurquhart Primary School
At Glenurquhart we aim to provide …
… a secure, caring and stimulating environment in which the potential of all pupils will be developed. We are concerned with a child’s all round development and recognise that all pupils are individuals who progress at different rates and therefore require programmes of work tailored to meet their individual needs.
About us …
Glenurquhart Primary School, Drumnadrochit – Glenurquhart Primary has existed as a separate entity since 1980. For more than a century before that time, there was a primary department in the nearby secondary school. The building we now occupy was constructed in 1975. The school occupies an attractive position in the centre of the village of Drumnadrochit, with splendid views of the surrounding hills. The single storey building is divided into infant, middle and upper pupil areas. Each consists of classrooms, an open area, cloakrooms and toilets. During the 1992/93 session, an additional classroom, cloakroom area and toilets were built, extending from the present senior block. In 2005 the school was further extended to provide two classrooms, a staffroom and a resource area. There is a small hall which serves as a dining room and games hall. Following the completion of the new Glen Urquhart High School, the primary school playing field is now situated to the rear of the building.
In spring 2011 a demountable unit was installed in the front playground to house the Gaelic Medium Unit which provides primary education for children in primaries 1-6. For session 2016-17 Gaelic is being provided at bun sgoil inbhir nis.
