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.

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.

Hillwood Fun Afternoon

Fun Day 2016

P6/7 Community Cafe

P7 will be hosting the first community cafe of the session this Friday from 10am-11am. It’s an Olympic theme to celebrate our recent succes in Rio. See you there!

Happy 40th Birthday Hillwood!!!

We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday 10th June to celebrate Hillwood Primary School’s 40th birthday.  The day promises to be fun-filled with 70s inspired performances from the children, a tasty 70s buffet, photos from the last forty years and more!  See you there!

Games @the Hub

P6/7 enjoyed a lovely sunny day at Forrester/St. Augustine’s High School for Games at the Hub where the group split into two groups for hockey and football. For the first half of the day, the children rotated around different activities to build up their skills, and then after lunch took part in a tournament.  No trophies this year but a great opportunity to keep fit and to meet children from other schools.

Sports Relief

Congratulations to everyone who took part in our fundraising day for Sport Relief.  Our Sport Relief Mile and the staff vs pupils game of basketball helped to raise over £700 for this worthy cause – well done!

WORLD BOOK DAY

We did it!! As part of our World Book Day celebrations, Hillwood pupils took part in a worldwide Bumper Book Quiz in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people taking part in a book quiz. With 6,388 people, in 62 locations across the world (including Hillwood!) all quizzing at the same time, we successfully broke the record – well done!
