The education of a child is far too important to be left to a school alone. Parents have a very important part to play too.

The catchment area includes the village and surrounding hinterland. Old Rayne is within easy commuting distance of the city of Aberdeen. The school celebrated its centenary in 1980 and continues to be a focal point within the community. Within the village of Old Rayne there is a well utilised village hall, hairdressers, a large play park and a football field. In Pitmachie, adjoining the village is a car garage and a camping and caravanning site. Two miles out of the village is Kirkton of Rayne Church. Almost all primary one pupils starting at the school have had playgroup experience at Old Rayne Playgroup or they have accessed pre school nursery at Rothienorman School. Old Rayne School provides primary education for children aged 5 – 12, we have two classes – Primary 1-3 and Primary 4-7. The building comprises two large classrooms; a small multi-purpose hall with adjoining servery; a staffroom and admin office, and a resource room/head teacher’s office. A tarmac playground surrounds the building with a school garden to one side and play equipment to the other. The local St Lawrence Hall is used for P.E. lessons and school concerts. In fine weather, the local authority park opposite the school is used as an additional play area when staff to pupil ratios permit.

The Head Teacher is invited to attend Community Association meetings as well as Village Hall Committee meetings. The school has a very supportive Parent Council. These groups support school improvement activities and raise additional funds to provide many extras for the pupils in the school. Old Rayne Primary regularly participates in activities with other local schools. These include, for example, joint discos, technology challenges, sports matches as well as staff meetings.

Devolved budgets are managed in accordance with authority guidelines in order to support planned improvements in the school. The school was inspected in October 2004. At Old Rayne School we are keen to provide our pupils with an understanding of global issues. We work with global foundations and organisations that provide us with criteria and goals to work on.

The settlement is centred on the cross roads of the B992 and the Leslie/Oyne road. The settlement is surrounded by open countryside, with important views of Bennachie to the east. Auchleven’s location away from main service centres, along with significant capacity constraints at Premnay Primary School, mean that the scope for significant expansion of the settlement is limited. However, there may be opportunities for development of a small-scale ‘organic’ nature through the plan’s rural development policy. The primary planning objective during the lifetime of the plan is to preserve the amenity of the village. Settlement Features Protected Land P1 To provide landscaping for the recent development at Hermit Seat and to protect open space. P2 To conserve the playing field as an important local amenity. Services and Infrastructure • Primary education: All residential development must contribute towards an extension at Premnay Primary School • Secondary education: All residential development must contribute towards an extension or reconfiguration at the Gordon Schools. • Community facilities: All residential development may be required to contribute towards facilities that serve the community in Auchleven or towards facilities in the wider catchment area at Insch.
