At Pitreavie Primary School our main goal is to create an ethos where pupils and staff feel valued and work with parents to provide all children with a high quality standard of education.

Details of curriculum developments can be found in our School Improvement Plan (available from the Headteacher). Specialist teachers of Music, Drama, P.E. and Art make regular visits to school. Individual pupils from P4 upwards may benefit from tuition in Clarsach and from P5 upwards in Double Bass.

Pitreavie Primary School values greatly its partnership with parents. Our PTA, called Pennies for Pitreavie, is extremely pro-active and the Parent Council provides tremendous support in addressing a wide range of issues. Pitreavie Primary offers an extensive programme of extra curricular activities for pupils including Running, Badminton, Netball, Dance, Football, Art and Scripture Union.
