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.

Water Aid Fun Run!

 

A massive ‘THANK YOU’ to all who came along to Primary 2/3’s Fun Run and Toy Stall to help raise money for Water Aid. It was a fantastic opportunity to share the children’s learning and a great finale to our Water project. The event managed to raise a whopping £140 – well done Primary 2/3!

Open Morning

We would like to invite you to our Open Morning on Friday 2^nd September. Families are welcome in school between 11.00am and 12.00noon.

We will gather in the hall for the launch of the new school website.

You will then have the opportunity to ‘Meet the Teacher’ and to find out a bit about what your child will be doing in the class over the next year. Each teacher will share information about the organisation of their class and key dates. Your child will act as tour guide of their classroom and the rest of the school. There will a quiz for you and your child to participate in based on the new school website so bring your smart phones and tablets. Teachers will be on hand to answer any general questions.

Mr Stephen Rafferty, DHT at Craigmount High School will be at the event to have a chat with the P7 parents.

Teas and coffees will be available in the hall throughout the hour.
