Hillside School is located is located in the purpose-built integrated Barony Campus in Auchinleck Road, Cumnock. We share the campus with our friends and partners Cherrytrees Early Childhood Centre, Lochnorris Primary and Supported Learning Centre and Robert Burns Academy and Barony Supported Learning Centre.
This means we have our own separate area for Hillside School but also share and have access to some amazing learning spaces across the campus. In many ways it is the best of both worlds!
The accommodation consists of 6 classroom bases, 2 smaller break off rooms / therapy spaces, a flexible project space, sensory room, soft play room, Rebound room, open area, hydrotherapy pool, and lifeskills kitchen.
Within the wider campus there are fantastic indoor and outdoor PE and sport facilities as well as a community café ‘Piper’s Café’, an auditorium, an immersive learning space, music studios and a whole range of learning spaces that can be flexibly used for pupils across the campus including Hillside pupils as appropriate.
The campus grounds are extensive and support outdoor learning for all pupils. Hillside has its own designated playground space however pupils may also access other areas with peers where appropriate including other playgrounds, the sports facilities and the shared polytunnel growing area.
Pupils are also able to enjoy walks around the immediate grounds and adjacent countryside including the Woodroad Park and Dumfries House.
