A very warm welcome to our new Hunter Primary School website. We hope this will give you a warm insight into our wonderful school.
I am delighted and proud to be appointed as Acting Head Teacher of such a wonderful school. Our highly experienced and committed staff team ensure that our shared school vision and values are at the heart of all that we do at Hunter, putting your child's health, wellbeing and progress first at all times.
Our aim is to provide all learners with a safe, inclusive and stimulating learning environment which ensures your child reaches their full potential. We provide an education for all learners that encourages them to become successful and confident lifelong learners and be effective and responsible in their community. We support learners to develop a strong sense of values and foster in them the confidence and skills they need for continued learning, for work and for life.
We hope this website gives you an flavour of what we do at Hunter Primary. You can contact our school office on 01355 221076 or office@hunter-pri.s-lanark.sch.uk should you have any questions.

Primary 1 enrolment ~ August 2025 start (added 16.12.24)
Online enrolment registration will be open via South Lanarkshire Council's website from Monday 6th January 2025.
If your child is aged 5 years between 1st March 2025 and end of February 2026, they should be registered for school.
If you wish to defer your child starting Primary school - you are able to indicate this through the online registration, however this should also be discussed with your child's Nursery and a deferred entry request form should also be completed (available from your child's nursery).
Please do not register your child for school before 6th January, as you will be required to complete this again when the Primary 1 online registration begins.
If you are in any doubt, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Welcome to Hunter Primary Parent Council. My name is Angela Miller and I am the Parent Council Chairperson. Please see below some information on the Parent Council.
What is the Parent Forum?
Every parent / carer with a child in Hunter Primary School is automatically a member of the Parent Forum which enables you to join the Parent Council.
What is the Parent Council?
The Parent Council is a formal group with a constitution and is there to act as the Parent Voice of our school. Our Parent Council puts a huge focus on the children and what we can do to make their time at school as engaging and fun as possible. The key element of being able to do this is the great relationship that exists between the Council and the school staff.
The Council members are a friendly approachable bunch who organise events throughout the year which are great fun for our children but also very successful in raising funds for the school. These funds provide learning opportunities for the children whether that be through IT equipment or school trips.
We openly welcome new members to join us and even if you are unable to attend the Parent Council meetings if you can help in any aspect of our activities, we would love to hear from you.
How can you help?
In any way that you can! Everyone helps out as little or as much as they can. You could help by attending all or some of our meetings to help us plan events and come up with new ideas.
You could volunteer to help with the planning of an event out with the meeting times at a time that is convenient for you. You could volunteer as a helper at the events. You could help with donations for our raffles and prizes throughout the year. Maybe you have a particular skill that would be helpful. Or you work for a company that would be a great contact for us when organising events. There are so many ways that you can get involved to help to make a success of our Parent Council.
The fact that you are a parent / carer means that your voice matters in Education and the Parent Council is a great opportunity for you to become more involved and get to know more about Hunter Primary School.
Our current post holders are:
Chairperson – Angela Miller
Vice Chairperson & Secretary – Laura Luxton
Treasurer – Leigh Robertson
