Penninghame Primary School is a co-educational primary school serving the town of Newton Stewart and surrounding rural area. In August 2010 the catchment area of the school was extended to include the area previously served by Glentrool Primary which closed in July 2010. There are eight classes ranging from Primary 1 to Primary 7, a nursery for 3 and 4 year olds and a Learning Centre for pupils with additional support needs.
The school was built in 1965 replacing an older building nearby which is now used by the Social Services Department. There has been a school in the Penninghame area for over one hundred years.

The school has places for 225 pupils (current roll 210) and there is also a sixty place nursery for 3 and 4 year olds. Close links are fostered with local playcare and childcare providers and the Douglas Ewart High School so that all children are ensured a smooth and happy transition at both admission and transfer stages.
The school is situated in Dumfries and Galloway (south-west Scotland) in the market town of Newton Stewart.
The town lies on the A75 Trunk road which runs between the Scottish border at Gretna in the east and Stranraer in the west.
