Lochgelly West Primary School serves the North and West area of Lochgelly in West Fife. The Early Years Department dates back to 1883, while the main part of the building was added in approximately 1916. A new extension encompassing a new office suite, cloakroom and toilet facilities enhances the working environment.

There are nine classes in the school and two nurture rooms. Two other classrooms within the school have been set up to accommodate the Nursery which takes three and four-year-olds. There is a Support for Learning base. The large Central Hall is used for PE, Assemblies, concerts etc. We are fortunate to have a very good school kitchen serving a variety of meals in a separate dining room. This facility, whilst catering for a wide range of dietary requirements, also promotes healthy eating and lifestyle. Cultural diversity is reflected in the menu.

A large playground surrounds the school. A wildlife garden and grassy area have been created through Grounds for Learning. The overall outdoor appearance has been improved and also provides a more interesting play area for the children. Most recently, a new garden are has been opened up for our pupils and for the local community to enjoy. The school also benefits from a large, secure playing field adjacent to the school.
