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 38 pupils. At Marykirk we have two classes with one full time and one part-time teacher. The Headteacher was appointed in January 2022 and along with the team is dedicated to moving the school forward.

We have a visiting ASN teacher one and a half days a week, who provides additional support for learners. The school also works closely with a range of other support agencies and volunteers to provide the best possible experience for all our children. In addition, the staff are supported by pupil support assistants, one school administrator, one catering assistant, one cleaner and a part-time janitor. On leaving Marykirk Primary School the pupils transfer to Mearns Academy, Laurencekirk. Marykirk School is part of the Laurencekirk Community Schools’ Network and works closely with the other six schools in the Network. There are strong links between the schools in the network, with joint residential trips, extracurricular activities and after school clubs. The school plays an active role in the community and is used for a range of community activities and clubs for all ages. The school has a very supportive Parent and Carer Council which supports school improvement priorities and raises additional funds to enhance the experiences for all our learners.
