Lochyside RC Primary School is a Catholic primary school which is situated two miles west of Fort William.
The school provides its pupils with a stimulating learning environment which is supported by an ethos of encouraging achievement and celebrating success. We actively promote partnership between home, school, parish and the wider community.
Our commitment as a Catholic school plays a central part as we endeavour to reflect the ideals of our faith in our everyday practice, particularly in the ethos and positive attitude of the school as a whole.
There are currently 113 pupils on the school roll. The school has 6 teaching staff.
Pupils who have additional support needs are supported in mainstream classes by teachers, learning support auxiliaries and classroom assistants.
The children attending the school are mainly from the areas of Caol, Lochyside, Banavie and Corpach, though a small number do travel from Fort William and the surrounding area.
The school does not have a Nursery. Strong links with local Nursery Schools are well-established.
