About the school:
Hareleeshill Primary is situated in the Hareleeshill area of Larkhall. The school originally opened on 20th August 1973 with 434 pupils. The new school was built on the same site and opened in November 2007 and was officially opened in January 2009 by Jimmy Hood MP.
The current role is 207 pupils across our classes and nursery. There are 6 mainstream classes and 6 additional support needs classes. We have a staffing allocation in line with National and Council policy which consists of 1 Head Teacher, 2 Depute Head Teachers, 2 Principal Teachers and 12 class committed teachers. We have 3 additional teachers who provide support to classes. There are also 17 Support Assistants and 6 Early Years Workers.
Hareleeshill is a vibrant busy school we value our links with parents/carers and work hard to foster positive relationships between home and school. As an ECO school we are very aware of the need to reduce our paper and photocopying costs whilst ensuring that all stakeholders feel informed and involved in the life of the school.
We encourage a good work ethic and pride in the school. Our parents/carers support us by enhancing the life of the school through the Parent Forum, involvement as helpers during school time, assisting with trips and by raising additional funds through various events. We have a great pride in our school uniform and our parents/carers support us by ensuring all children arrive at school with the appropriate clothing.
We hope that our website will showcase the life of the school and reflect the Curriculum for Excellence in action.
