Craigrothie Primary School was built in 1833. It is a co-educational, non-denominational school in a delightful rural setting in Craigrothie. It serves the village of Craigrothie, the hamlet of Chance Inn and many outlying farms and farm cottages.

The building consists of two classrooms, a dining area/general purpose room, office accommodation and a corridor linking the two classrooms, which is also used as a quiet study area. In session 24/25 we have a P1-3 class and a P4-7 class.

There is a tarmac play area in front of the school and a school garden to the rear with a pleasant picnic area which is used in the summer months.

We have access to the village hall for PE, drama and school concerts.

Craigrothie Primary hosts a Breakfast Cafe run by parent and community volunteers, is free of charge to all Craigrothie families and runs from 8.00 until 8.45, Monday to Friday.  While the cafe is not childcare, it is a lovely social opportunity for children and families.
