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.

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
