Touch Primary School

Touch Primary School is a large primary school that serves the communities of East Dunfermline. The school has a roll of 390 and the nursery attached caters for 90 three and four year olds.

Children from the surrounding areas of Touch, Garvock, Bellyeoman and the Eastern expansion of Dunfermline attend the school and nursery. The school serves a very mixed catchment of private and public housing and caters for a very broad spectrum of socio/economic groupings. This is a strength of the school.

Touch School was built in the 1970's and is in reasonable repair. The interior has been improved over the last 2 years. The exterior of the building has been extensively refurbished. A large tarmaced play area surrounds the school and there is also a large blaze football pitch in the grounds. There has been a major audit of the school playground and its environs with a view to future investment.

Touch Primary has a very active School Board who support the work of the school and an active PTSA that raises funds and supports school intiatives. The Gala Committee also works hard each year to support a very large attendance at the Dunfermline Gala.

The school enjoys a very good and purposeful relationship with parents. Many classes visit the surrounding area and community for environmental studies or for concerts and performances.
