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 2025-2026 academic year we will have three classes: P1–3, P3–6, 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.

December 2025 Newsletter
On behalf of the staff, I would like to wish all the children, parents, carers and our community partners a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year as we move into the festive period.
November Newsletter
Dear Parents/Carers,
We have had a busy first couple of weeks of the new term since the October half-term break. The children have all settled well into their school routines and we look forward to sharing more examples of learning and updates through Showbie, School Facebook page and in our newsletters. Many thanks to everyone who came along to parents consultations before the October break. If you were unable to make or keep an appointment, please do contact your child’s teacher to rearrange via the school office.

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
