We are a small rural school and very much the centre of Meigle village. We have strong community links with local businesses and work closely with parents and carers to ensure the positive holistic development of all our pupils. At Meigle Primary School we encourage children to reach their full potential whilst embracing their individualities. Our school has high expectations of our pupils and teaching staff, whilst promoting a wholly inclusive environment. We pride ourselves on our ability to create a happy and safe environment for our children, and strive to ensure each individual pupil’s needs are met and wider achievements encouraged. A wide curriculum is offered based on the recommendations of Curriculum for Excellence.
A Brief History of our School
Meigle Primary School, which came into being as a result of the Education Act of 1872, is the successor, according to various records, to a number of voluntary and parochial schools which existed over a considerable period of time within the parish of Meigle.
Under the Education Act, control of the school was vested in a locally elected School Board which built the present school and the two adjacent schoolhouses in 1876.
Control has passed from the School Boards to, Perth County Council in 1918 to Tayside Regional Council in 1976 and now to Perth and Kinross Council.
Originally catering for the educational requirements of Secondary as well as Junior pupils, the school’s role changed in 1948 to that of purely a primary school – pupils being transferred at the age of twelve to Alyth Junior Secondary School, Alyth High School (as it was then known). Following Alyth High School’s closure in 1994, the Secondary school for pupils within the Meigle catchment area has been Blairgowrie High School.
The original Victorian school building was added to in 1912, with the erection of a corrugated iron annexe to provide for the teaching of cookery for the girls and woodwork for the boys of the Secondary Department.
The annexe is now occupied by the kitchen, operated by Tayside Contracts, accompanying dining hall and adjacent G.P room.
The main building consists of two classrooms, a suppport base and another room which functions as a staffroom/office. Pupils’ indoor toilet facilities are situated off the main corridor in a small extension.
