Welcome To Fordyce Primary School

Fordyce Primary, built in 1924, is set amongst a picturesque historical village, 2 miles south-west of Portsoy and 11 miles south west of Banff.

Surrounding the school are extensive grounds and playing field which are used for many curricular areas, particularly physical education and Forest School and Eco Schools activities. There is also a willow structure, raised flower and vegetable beds, orchard, adventure play trail area, recycled plastic bottle greenhouse, mini beast and wildlife area and a variety of mature and young trees.

Fordyce Primary is an Awarded Eco and Forest School and earlier in 2023, we were delighted to be shortlisted and then subsequently win The 2023 Scottish Finest Woods Award.

Within the conservation village of Fordyce there is a Bistro, a Joiner’s Workshop Museum and a village hall, where the bowling club, WRVS, badminton club and dancing lessons are held as well as monthly car boot and craft stalls. A picturesque old churchyard, castle and play park completes the picture. Every July there is a Villlage Open Garden Day, which was previously featured in the BBC’s Beechgrove Garden programme.
