Welcome To Hazlehead School

Hazlehead Primary and Nursery School is situated on the outskirts of Aberdeen city, off Queen's Road just to the West of the Hazlehead roundabout. The school serves  the Craigiebuckler, Hazlehead. Kings Gate, Queens Den and Woodend areas West of Aberdeen.

The classrooms, which are traditional closed units, are in two dual storey blocks and are connected by single storey buildings housing the Administration Block and stage areas.

The school Library, Information and Communication Technology Suite, Music, and Art facilities are located in General Purposes rooms in school. Outdoor play spaces consist of large paved and extensive grassed areas bounded by trees.
A new school is currently under construction on the same site and is due to open in Spring 2010.

During this time they work on a wide range of activities. These range from basic knowledge of the hardware and keyboard skills, to internet research, developing presentation skills and the collation of information. 

Besides this all classrooms have at least one networked and one stand alone computer.   

The library is visited every week by all pupils so that they can select a book of their choice to read at home. The catalogue and lending facilities are fully computerised allowing ease of research and tracking of borrowing.

These programmes allow integration with peer group classes alongside individual activities where necessary.

 The music room houses a wide range of instruments which are used regularly by all pupils . The music teacher, Miss Minto, visits every Friday with classes being taught on a fortnightly, rotational basis.

Miss Minto runs the choir, orchestra, guitar and recorder groups while various specialists visit to teach individual instruments.

We are very fortunate in having a large, multi-functional hall, with an excellent stage. The hall is used for P.E, drama, weekly school assemblies, school discos, presentations and various concerts throughout the year. The annual Christmas concert is always well attended  and the P.7 Leaver's concert is one of the highlights of the summer term. These uses are on top of having to function daily as our dining area!

The fantastic, bright mural was painted by Mrs. Scott and the children when the hall was refurbished, thanks to P.T.A funds a few years ago.
