Gavinburn Primary is part of the Clydebank High School Learning Community and the catchment area takes in Old Kilpatrick and Bowling. 

Gavinburn school holds 12 classrooms and is accommodated within a one storey building, equipped with disabled ramps and a disabled toilet located on the ground floor.  Part of the school building was recently refurbished to incorporate an Early Learning and Childcare Centre (ELCC) for children aged 3 – 5 years.

Playground facilities are such that P1–P3 and P4-P7 have their own separate playgrounds with adult supervision during interval and lunch breaks. P5–P7, as well as their playground, also have timetabled use of a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA).

We communicate regularly with parents through newsletters, flyers, social media and the school website and when appropriate by letter, email and text. We arrange a variety of opportunities for parents to be involved in the life of the school. We are also happy to arrange appointments to discuss any aspect of your child’s education and wellbeing if this is required.

We have a range of policies for different aspects of school life, and copies are available from the school office. Parents can find a range of council policies and other relevant information about schools on the council website at
