Dervaig Primary School

Dervaig Primary School is a non-denominational, co-educational school situated in the picturesque village of Dervaig in the north of the Isle of Mull. Serving the village and surrounding rural area, the school operates with a small, community-focused roll (typically around 25 pupils). The school is integrated into the local community, emphasizing a welcoming and positive ethos, with high expectations for its P1-P7 pupils.

Due to its size, the school uses a composite class structure (e.g., P1-4 and P5-7) taught across two classrooms. The curriculum is enhanced by utilizing local resources, including the Community Orchard for outdoor learning and the Dervaig Village Hall for Physical Education. The school works closely with its supportive Parent Council and encourages children to respect others and confidently express themselves.

Dervaig Primary is part of the North Mull Cluster Group, linking it with Tobermory High School, where pupils transfer for secondary education. School meals are transported in from a central kitchen. The school structure is adapted to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act regulations, ensuring accessibility. Visitors are welcomed, but contacting the Head Teacher, Iona Wardhaugh, in advance is recommended.
