About Our School

Marykirk School is a non-denominational school situated in the rural village of Marykirk. Marykirk provides education for children aged 4-12 and the current school roll is 42 pupils. At Marykirk we have 2 classes with one 1 full time and two part time teachers. The Headteacher was appointed in January 2022 and along with the team is dedicated to moving the school forward. We also have an ASL teacher 1.5 days a week and a pupil support assistant who works with the children that require extra support.

At Marykirk Primary we value partnership working and appreciate the positive relationship that exists between our pupils, staff, parents, and the wider community. We work closely with other agencies, for example, speech and language, educational psychology, social work and medical professionals to ensure all our pupils can achieve their highest potential. We make sure that the children know their rights in line with the UNCRC and as a whole school learn about SHANARRI so that everyone understands what it looks like to be safe, happy, achieving, nurtured, active, responsible, respected, and included. We build resilience in our children by taking a growth mindset approach and this year we will be engaging with NHS Scotland and their Decider skills programme to support Health and Wellbeing.

We are very fortunate to have a supportive parent partnership who work alongside the school and parent forum. They support in school improvement priorities whilst raising additional funds to enhance the learning experience for all.
