Dunning Primary School is a rural primary school based in the historical village of Dunning, close to Auchterarder. We are very proud of our strong ethos of inclusion and all pupils, staff and parents are highly valued and actively encouraged to contribute to the life and work of the school. Learning is at the heart of everything we do and we strive to promote achievement for all.
The Health & Wellbeing of our school community is very important to us and staff, parents and volunteers provide a very wide range of HWB and sporting opportunities for our pupils. We are immensely proud to be a Gold Award SportScotland School, a Health Promoting School and an Eco School. Pupils ranging from P1 to P7 are accommodated in five composite classes.

Parent forum is the collective name for every parent or carer at a school. The Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 gives each school's Parent Forum the right to set up a Parent Council. The Parent Council is a group that is selected to work on behalf of all parents on educational matters that are of importance to all.
At Dunning Primary School, we endorse Perth and Kinross Council's "Statement of Intent" which sets out the broad principles determining the ethos and nature of education to be delivered across the Council area. Our vision is of a caring and confident school community where children enjoy their learning and have a sense of purpose.
If the school is to be closed for an extended period of time, your teacher will create some Learning Grids which will outline some tasks they would like you to complete while the school is closed. First of all, check if you have fully completed your 'normal' homework tasks to the very best of your ability.
We have summarised some common reasons parents/carers may need to contact us below and have indicated who the most relevant contact would be in each case. Should you have any concern that remains unresolved, please do not hesitate to contact the Head Teacher. Groupcall - this facility allows the school to send short text and email messages to parents/carers.
Following Parental Consultation, the teachers produced a selection of Parent Information Sheets on a range of subjects. Our Parent Council were very supportive by reading them through to make sure that they were as jargon free as possible. Teachers will continue to add to these as and when requested.
