Hills' Leadhill is a controlled primary school for boys and girls in Primary 1 to Primary 7. Leadhill has served the community for more than 50 years and is known for its outstanding pastoral care and high academic achievements. Our most recent inspection (December 2011) graded Leadhill 'Very Good' and listed many strengths. The full report is accessible on our home page.
The school boasts excellent facilities with all classrooms being bright and spacious. The grounds are well maintained throughout the year and are used for a variety of sporting, academic and community activities. Children in the foundation stage (P1 and P2) have access to a purpose built outdoor play area and, along with the rest of the children, can enjoy a variety of stimulating areas for play. The development of the new indoors Foundation Stage Playroom and purchase of additional furniture and equipment have been an immediate success in furthering this aspect of school life.
The present enrolment is 160 pupils. There are 9 teachers, including part-time staff and a Principal. The
teaching staff bring a variety of interests, training, specialisms and academic qualifications that undoubtedly enrich the quality of offered.
The teaching staff are assisted by a highly motivated team of support staff that include the school secretary, building supervisor, classroom assistants, canteen staff and supervisory assistants.
The children are at the heart of the school's vision and philosophy. They achieve excellent academic results within a broadly based curriculum in a caring and supportive environment. All staff work very hard to build a positive and encouraging ethos where individuals can gain independence and confidence and take responsibility.
Leadhill PS is a happy community where every child's individual circumstances matter.
