Welcome to Ayton Primary School!
👋
Our school is for children in P1-P7 for children from Ayton and the surrounding area. Our head teacher is Mrs Horsburgh, who is also the head teacher of neighbouring Reston Primary School.
For the 2023–24 academic year we will have three classes: P1–3, P4–5, and P6–7. See our staff page for more information.
We are part of the Eyemouth Learning Community (“Eyemouth cluster”) – children from Ayton, Coldingham, Cockburnspath, Eyemouth and Reston primary schools move up together to Eyemouth High School.

Please remember to make bookings in advance for your children’s lunches, if bookings are not made by 8.00am, children will be offered a meal, if they have not brought a packed lunch. It is important to book in advance so the kitchen has enough stock for each day.

P5.6.7 Cross Country Day
On Thursday the 6th of February primary 5/6/7 went to cross country, they went on a bus to Eyemouth, they had to lap around all 3 fields twice. It was a very long way! They were split up into boys and girls races for each year group. Some of the people from Ayton came in the top ten. Everyone was really supportive and it was team bonding time. Everyone represented Ayton brilliantly. #smallbutmighty
Goblin car p6
P6 from Reston and Ayton got together to do the Goblin car project. Two staff members from the high school race team came and showed us a green power presentation all about the new project.
