School Information

Greenhill Primary School is situated in the heart of the town of Coatbridge, within walking distance of most of the town centre amenities. We are co-located in the former Coatbridge High School building with Drumpark Primary. The school has been completely refurbished to meet the needs of the curriculum in the 21stcentury and to cater for the needs of every individual child who attends either school. The joint location is providing endless opportunities for staff and children from both schools to work in partnership together.

To ensure the safety of children walking to school, a crossing patrol has been provided at the junction of Dunbeth Avenue and Dunbeth Road and another at the junction of Russell Colt Street and Coltswood Road, as well as a patrol officer positioned on Sunnyside Road. Children who live more than a mile from the school, but within the schoolís catchment area, are entitled to free bus transport provided by North Lanarkshire Council. Where there has been no safe walking route established for those children who live under a mile from then school then a Privilege bus pass may be applied for.

We foster a sense of community here, which means we strive to work in partnership with the school, home, church and community. We are a registered Gold Award Health Promoting School and have been awarded 3 Eco flags in recognition of our work within the community and local environment. We are aiming for Fairtrade status this year.

Greenhill Primary School has established business partnerships with local business and with St Andrewís Hospice. The intention of these partnerships is to assist the school in improving pupilsí achievement levels and providing pupils with experiential learning of the world of work.
