Georgetown Primary School was opened in 1974, to serve the private housing development of Georgetown that lies to the South East of the town of Dumfries.  The school caters for stages Nursery to Pr 7 i.e. ages 3-12.  It is a non-denominational school with a roll of approximately 300 plus 50/50 Nursery provision. We also have the Queensberry Learning Centre for pupils with severe and complex learning difficulties.

The school building itself is of a split level construction.  A multi-purpose hall gives access to two large open areas each consisting of a central activity space.  The open areas in turn give access to class bays, four in the infant wing and nine in the upper school.  The school also has a library and an ICT suite with 18 networked P.C.s, children also have access to laptops and Ipads.  There are also a number of ‘quiet’ rooms for music, Learning Support, meetings etc.

Externally there are extensive areas of grass and two areas of hard surface close to the school.  There is also a soft play area for the Nursery and Queensberry and we have 2 adventure play trails.  We have garden areas and outside classroom, the Owl Barn.  A branch library has been built next to the school grounds and a large car park, serves the needs of staff and visitors to the school.
