Dunbar Primary School is a very large school split over two campuses; the role continues to rise as additional housing is planned for Dunbar. We currently have 1,203 pupils from Nursery – Primary 7.

John Muir Campus has sixteen P1 – P3 classes, eight classes in our nursery and houses a Wraparound care facility. We also have an Authority Communication Base (The Cove) within John Muir Campus for primary pupils.  All pupils in The Cove are allocated a mainstream class and where possible, depending on the severity and need, we aim to integrate them into class as much as possible.

Lochend Campus has twenty P4 – P7 classes. A new extension was completed in August 2016 that included an additional four classrooms, a music room, meeting room and support room.

The Head Teacher has no class commitment; there are 5 deputies all with 0.2 FTE, two based at each campus and one who has responsibility for The Cove. The school is also supported by a full-time PT Inclusion and Support, a full-time PT who has responsibility for the nursery and one other PT with full-time class commitment.

We see ourselves as a community school and work hard to engage with and support the community of Dunbar. We have very supportive and proactive parents, a large and enthusiastic volunteer network and pupils who are very engaged and motivated to learn. We are proud of our welcoming and successful learning community.
