Meethill School Background Information
Meethill Primary School, which opened in 1973, is situated in the town of Peterhead, approximately 30 miles from Aberdeen. The school is sited in a residential area of the town called Meethill. Meethill Tower, built by the Liberals following the passing of the
Reform Bill for Scotland in 1833, granting Peterhead the status of a Parliamentary Burgh, is the centre piece of the school badge.
The accommodation includes the main school building and a separate custom built nursery unit. The main building comprises 2 open-plan teaching areas, administration offices, the school hall, a learning hub, a quiet/music room, a staff room and a school
kitchen and dining hall. The nursery block is also open-plan in design.
Meethill School provides education for children aged 2 – 12 i.e. from ante-pre-school nursery – P7. The current school roll stands at 182 pupils in the school and 40 pupils in nursery.

sporting activities for the children.
On leaving Meethill Primary School the pupils transfer to Peterhead Academy.
