The Wigtown Word


Welcome to Wigtown Primary School

Nestled in Scotland’s National Book Town, our school nurtures young minds through the magic of literature. Here, every child’s story begins with the turn of a page, and learning adventures await around every corner. Each classroom is a new chapter in their educational journey, and every day brings fresh discoveries between the lines. In the heart of Wigtown, we’re writing tomorrow’s success stories, one eager reader at a time.
