About Our School
Hilton of Cadboll Primary and Nursery School
Our school sits on the Seaboard peninsula behind the villages of Hilton, Balintore and Shandwick. The catchment area consists of these villages as well as the surrounding areas including Broomton to Geanies, and Loans of Tullich to Pitkerrie.
Hilton of Cadboll Primary and Nursery School is a non-denominational school taking stages from Nursery at 3 years old to transfer to secondary at around 12 years of age. For secondary education, pupils transfer to Tain Royal Academy. There has been a “school on the hill” since 1875, catering for generations of children from the Seaboard area of Easter Ross.
The present school was built in 1961. It is surrounded by generous playing fields and offers an open outlook in all directions. The school building offers spacious classrooms with ample facilities for art, music, physical education, etc. There is a bright, pleasant environment for learning. A kitchen and dining area are also incorporated into the main building. Our current school roll is 124 and our current nursery roll is 33.

Curriculum for Excellence
Like all schools in Scotland we use Curriculum for Excellence as a framework for all our work in the school. Curriculum for Excellence is about bringing life to learning and learning to life.
