Our School

Our school is set within the Borestone community. To the rear of the school we have views of fields, hills and the Robert the Bruce monument at the Bannockburn battlefield site. We have extensive playing fields and are situated in an ideal environment for children to be involved in both rural and town studies. The outdoor environment is used by staff to extend learning experiences, whenever possible and appropriate.

Our school was built during the 1950s and officially opened in 1959. Regular work on the building has ensured that both the exterior and interior of the school have been updated. We now have a new extension to the school which comprises of 2 new classrooms and a multiuse space. This is to reflect our increasing role due to a new housing development in the area. 

We are continuing to plan the redevelopment of our outdoor area to further enhance the fantastic space we already have and to further encourage natural and imaginative play. Developments undertaken so far include the installation of two football pitches, a bikeability track and netball/tennis areas within the tarmac playground. The wider grounds already include opportunities for sand and water play, climbing, den building, construction, role play and much more. A wildlife garden and vegetable beds are also used by classes and our gardening group. We have recently created an area for outdoor learning and play that is attached to both P1 classrooms. Outdoor learning and natural play are important parts of school life at Borestone Primary. All classes are encouraged to learn outdoors both in the school grounds and the local community.
