Welcome to Hillwood Primary School’s website!

At Hillwood we work hard with our parents, pupils and staff to create a warm and welcoming environment where pupils can learn and grow.  Hillwood is a fantastic place to learn and work. As a former P7 pupil said we are “A small school with a big heart!” Our school community is proud of this statement and live up to it daily. To find out more about Hillwood Primary and what is happening this term, please explore our website, follow us on Twitter @HillwoodPS or use the ‘Contact Us’ section of the website to get in touch.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
