Nurseries and Schools
Nurseries provide education and care for children under school age. Some nurseries provide out of school childcare facilities like breakfast and after school childcare.
We offer a variety of provision. Those in schools generally offer part-time places with a few providing flexible places on a school term basis. Others cater for 0-5 years, making available full-time or extended day places on an all-year round basis.
The nurseries are either funded or managed by us, individual owners, private companies or voluntary organisations in partnership with us. If you wish information on partnership arrangements please contact the Early Childhood Co-ordination Officer on 01786 442681.
There are a further 18 nursery classes within primary schools in our area.
There are 41 primary schools in the Stirling area (1 with Gaelic medium provision). The pupil roll for all 41 schools is 6459 (as at September 2009).
There are 7 secondary schools in the area. The pupil roll for all 7 schools is 6050 (as at September 2009).
Catchment area maps are available for some schools. Find out which primary school catchment area or secondary catchment area you live in along with other information about your area by typing your postcode.
The schools provide statutory education for children aged 5-18 years through the promotion of an ethos of achievement. This includes effective learning and teaching experiences in line with local and national curriculum and assessment guidelines.
