Burgh Primary School first opened in 1875.  Burgh is a non-denominational school situated in the Scottish Borders serving the town of Galashiels. It is part of the Eildon West Learning Community. The school has strong links with its immediate local community, whilst also forming partnerships with the other 10 primary schools.  Learning opportunities and transition experiences are promoted through links with Galashiels Academy, which is where most of our children transfer to for their secondary education.

 

This year, there are currently 9 classes in the school and full day nursery sessions for 3 and 4 year olds. We are supported by a Support for Learning teacher (0.6) and also two PE specialists, who provide classes with quality PE a week, as well as delivering further health & wellbeing lessons.  We have close working relationships with our School Nurse, Community Police Officer, Home School Link Worker and Community Learning and Development worker.
