MILE-END SCHOOL

Mile-End School caters for children from Nursery to Primary 7. It is co-educational and non denominational. We serve an area at the west end of Aberdeen City comprising both council and private housing. The school was opened as a primary school in 1903 and is traditionally constructed of Aberdeen granite. All teaching areas within the main building are contained in one four-storey building built round a central open area.

The school roll stands at present at four hundred and seventy.

The school comprises four departments

• Nursery                                       
• Infant         Primaries  1-3
• Junior         Primaries  4-5              
• Senior         Primaries  6-7

The Nursery consists of two nursery classes, Ladybirds and Sunflowers, an outdoor play area, staffroom and storage space.

In the main building there are twenty self-contained rooms, which are used as follows

15 Classrooms                                    1 I.C.T. Room

1 Junior / Senior library                   1 Infant Library

1 Music Room                                    1 General Purposes Room

The central open area - known as the Infant Hall - is used by all pupils as a practical activity area where social as well as educational skills can be developed.

We have a well-equipped gymnasium, which is also used for drama, assemblies and meetings. Its overall size, however, can limit our range of activities.

The school was inspected in 1996.
