Ulva Primary School is a non-denominational, co-educational school, situated close to Ulva Ferry where there is a boat link to the charming Isle of Ulva.  The present role is 8 and the stages covered are P1 - P7.  We have two classrooms in our school, an office and small kitchen area.  The beautiful outdoor environment is used regularly for learning and teaching, including our beach school.  It is mainly a farming community, with a fish farm situated close to the school.  Ulva Primary School is involved in the Scottish Attainment Challenge to close the poverty attainment gap.  The funding will be used in areas of literacy, numeracy, health and wellbeing.

Ulva Primary School shares a Head teacher with Lochdonhead Primary School.  The two schools often join together for activities and events.  Both schools have been adapted in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act.  The schools can be 'let out' to organisations during term time.  To acquire information on costs of lets and availability of the school, applications should first be made to Lorn Community Letting, Oban, Tel: 01631 567955.  Parents, guardians, and carers should note that the working capacity of the schools may vary depending upon the number of pupils at each stage and the way in which the classes are organised.

Ulva and Lochdonhead Primary Schools have a very welcoming and friendly ethos, the result of close co-operation of the staff, very supportive Parent Councils and a close involvement of the pupils, parents and wider community.  Positive relationships are encouraged and staff and pupils share a sense of belonging, pride in the schools and mutual respect.  The children are encouraged to respect the opinions of others and to confidently express their own feelings and thoughts.  We have a happy, positive ethos with high expectations of pupil behaviour.

The schools have excellent relationships with the communities.  We work closely with the local residents to find out how we could support each other and build partnerships.  In both schools, this has resulted in pupils forming and running enterprise businesses, providing regular cafes for both communities, developing rich learning through this meaningful context and benefiting from the expertise of members of the local community regularly coming in and working with us.  Our work has been recognised by the Scottish Enterprise Academy and Education Scotland.

We support the work undertaken by Ulva Community School Association (USCA) and are very grateful for their continued support of the school.  We regularly invite parents and community to come into the school and work with us to share their expertise and celebrate our achievements.

Ulva and Lochdonhead Primary Schools are part of the North Mull Cluster Group, which consists of Tobermory High School and its feeder primaries Salen and Dervaig.  Along with Iona and Bunessan, who feed into Oban High School, we form the Mull and Iona Co-operative.  This provides close links within the area, prevents educational isolation of pupils and staff and provides opportunities for pupils to mix prior to their transfer to High School.
