Tomnacross
is a non- denominational school catering for the nursery and primary
education of children of both sexes.
The school
has been in existence since 1875 with new buildings added sometime
between 1930–1950 and a new link building in 1994. Originally a Junior
Secondary, the school became a primary in 1970. The school has had some
refurbishment in recent years and the classrooms are bright and
spacious. There is disabled access throughout and disabled toilet
facilities.
There are
4 main classrooms, a purpose-built nursery unit, a music / TV room, a
teacher’s resources room, a dining hall and a small gym hall. Classes
are usually 2 stage composite with a maximum of 25 pupils. This year
work is scheduled to begin on a new purpose-built dining / gym hall.
The school
grounds include a playing field, a large grassed area and a tarred
playground.
Our main
sport is shinty, which is open to both boys and girls. The school team
made history by winning both National Primary Shinty Trophies, the
MacKay Cup and the Bank of Scotland Cup, two years running, in 2001 and
2002.
The school
was last inspected by Her Majesty’s Inspectors in April 2001 and
received a very positive report.
