Coalsnaughton Primary school is a place where children and families are the heart of everything we do. As a community, we strive to ensure that all of our children become the best they can be. Our tag line is #beallyoucanbe. We work together with families and other services to ensure that everyone, regardless of background, feels welcome, included and supported. We strive to ensure our learners achieve their full potential.
As a school and nursery, we understand that helping to improve the health and wellbeing of our children and families is of prime importance. We do our best to ensure our children are ready to learn and achieve. We are, therefore, committed to ensuring all our work in school and the community is under-pinned by SHANARRI principles i.e. that everyone in our school will be:
S AFE
H EALTHY
A CHIEVING
N URTURED
A CTIVE
R ESPONSIBLE
R ESPECTED
I NCLUDED
We do not work alone to ensure all these things for our children. We encourage and uphold strong, positive relationships with our parents and families, understanding that by working together we can improve the lives of everyone in the Coalsnaughton community. Partnership is a key word for the Coalsnaughton team.
I am very proud to be able to lead Coalsnaughton Primary School and build on its considerable successes. I want the school to take its place at the heart of our community, serving the needs of all our children and families.

Coalsnaughton Primary School was built in 1898. An extension was added in the 1970s. The school is situated in the small village of Coalsnaughton and its catchment area includes Devonside. It is the main focal point of the village and maintains strong community links.
The building has four classrooms all with interactive whiteboards, a well stocked library, gym/dining room, resource room and nursery class. The school grounds include a woodland garden and grass area. An outdoor stage and grass ‘amphitheatre’ style seating has been created to provide excellent opportunities for drama and environmental education and outdoor learning.
The school enjoys close working links with Alva Academy and the five other associated primary schools – Alva, Menstrie, Muckhart, Tillicoultry and Strathdevon.
