Welcome To Fordyce Primary School
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.
Fordyce village dates back to the 13th Century and is a conservation village. Within the village 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, a castle dating from 1592 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.

CELEBRATING OUR CENTENARY YEAR
CELEBRATING OUR CENTENARY YEAR
On Saturday 9th March 2024, we held a school open day to celebrate our centenary year. Pupils and staff created an exhibition from their history project of the school over the last 100 years. Memorabilia and testimonies were loaned to the school from ex-pupils and ex-staff from both Primary and former Academy.
The Aberdeenshire Archives team were on site answering questions and brought former Fordyce Academy logbooks and other archive materials for members of the public to enjoy.
Many thanks to those who contributed and helped on the day and to those who attended.

RAG BAG Rag Bag - Textile Recycling (rag-bag.co.uk)
Did you know we have 2 Rag Bag bins located in our school car park?
Rag Bag is a scheme that pays schools for recycling unwanted clothing, shoes, handbags and belts.
This helps the environment and helps raise funds for our school projects as we are paid for every KG collected.
DAFFODIL TEA
Every year in March the Fordyce Parent Council holds a Daffodil Tea in our village hall. There are craft stalls, tombola, raffles and local supplier stalls and our Pupil Council projects. The monies raised by the Parent Council help pay for school trips and events.
