Hill of Fearn Primary 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 and the wider community. The school is part of a cluster, the Head Teacher being shared between Hill of Fearn and Tarbat Old Primary School in Portmahomack a few miles towards the coast. This means there is no class committed Head Teacher so your child should have continuity and minimal disruption. There are presently 3 mainstream classes in the school (P1/2, P3/4 and P5/6/7) with all pupils’ additional needs being supported by teachers and additional support needs auxiliaries. There are currently 57 pupils in P1-7 and the school has 3 teaching staff.
