Murthly Primary School is small rural school situated just outside the village of Murthly which is about 10 miles north of the large town of Perth. The school is approximately 130 years old and once was called Murthly and Airntully Public School.
It has 3 classes with a roll of 60 plus 10 in the Nursery. The school is currently capped at 21 children for each class for outwith zone admissions and for next session, based on current expected roll, can not take any children into P.3-7 outwith our catchment zone.
This web site is aimed at keeping everyone informed about what is happening at the school.
