Welcome to Portlethen Primary School

Portlethen Primary School is a non-denominational school with a role of 225 (Nursery 28 and Primary School 197 pupils). The school serves the growing coastal town of Portlethen, including the communities of Findon and Old Portlethen. The school benefits from strong, reciprocal relationships with families, local organisations and community partners, all of whom play an important role in supporting the life and work of the school. Since 2017, Portlethen Primary has been designated as an Enhanced Provision setting, striving to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment for all learners.

Our parent body, Portlethen Primary Together (PPT), continues to be an active and valued partner. Committed to improving outcomes for children and families, PPT supports the school through a wide range of fundraising initiatives. Their efforts help provide enhanced learning opportunities, enriching experiences and additional resources that benefit all pupils.

At Portlethen Primary our strong nurturing ethos permeates the school community. We promote inclusion to reduce barriers to learning so that every child can reach their full potential. We provide a safe and secure environment where children are supported to learn from their successes as well as their mistakes. Pupils contribute positively to the school community whilst developing their own skills for learning, life and work.
