About our school...

Situated a mile and a half from Dumfries town centre Cargenbridge Primary is built on ground in the heart of the suburbs of Cargenbridge and from the site there are beautiful panoramic views of Dumfries and the surrounding farmlands.

The school, which opened in 1959, benefits from having once been a secondary with generous levels of accommodation and extensive play areas including a football pitch. We have the facilities for up to 100 primary and 40 nursery children. The design of the building is typical of its period comprising of pre-cast concrete walling, large areas of timber glazed windows and flat felted roofs.

The catchment area stretches from Mabie forest on the New Abbey Road to Lochanhead on the Dalbeattie Road with those children who live in outlying areas being transported via the school taxi service. 

Although classed as a rural school, being situated on the outskirts of town means that we enjoy the best of both worlds! We can maintain small classes in an intimate, friendly environment but we have all the facilities of the town on our doorstep.
