About Our School

Drumblade Primary School is a non-denominational school with a role of 51 pupils and 17 children in Nursery. The school serves the rural catchment area of Drumblade and surrounding villages. Many of the children travel to and from school by minibus or car. The nursery has children that may go to Drumblade, Forgue or Largue Schools.

We currently have three primary classes: P1/2, P3/4 and P5/6/7.  Our Nursery school capacity is 16 pupils, The pupils are currently attending 30 hours per week, up to 6 hours a day as we offer 1140 term time only due to demand and location.

On leaving Drumblade Primary School the pupils transfer to The Gordon Schools, Huntly. Drumblade School is part of the Huntly Community Schools’ Network and works closely with the other 8 schools in the Network.

Community links are a valued part of school life. The school has a very supportive Parent Council and associated subgroups. These groups support school improvement activities and raise additional funds to provide many extras for the pupils in the school.

Devolved budgets are managed in accordance with authority guidelines to support planned improvements in the school.

Education Scotland last inspected the school in January 2022, as a follow up to the inspection in 2018. All areas were addressed or in good progress, the feedback was positive: ’There is a strong sense of family across the school’. The Care Inspectorate visited the Nursery in 2021 the report was very good.

The school is also working towards the awards of: Green flag- Eco Schools, Reading Schools Award, Rights Respecting Schools, and further Sports Awards.
