Rosebank Primary School Description
Rosebank Primary is situated in the heart of the old Burgh of Nairn, in the area boundaried by Academy Street, Leopold Street, High Street and Wellington Road. The building has a long history dating back over 150 years.
Originally the buildings were the home of Nairn Academy, established in 1830, following public subscription to which Captain James Rose, R. N. was a notable contributor. Following his death in 1840 the school was renamed Rose’s Academical Institution to honour his memory.
In 1893 the school reverted to its original name of Nairn Academy, although it was still known to many as Rose’s Academical Institution. It remained the secondary school for the town and county of Nairn until January 1976 when the new Academy was opened. Rosebank Primary then occupied the building, still maintaining a link with one of the original founders of the old school. The school motto is that of the clan Rose, “Constant and True” (used by permission of Miss Rose of Kilravock) and the school badge is a rose.
The school currently houses approximately 420 pupils from nursery (aged 3 and 4) to Primary Seven (aged 11 and 12). Co-educational and non-denominational, it is within the authority of The Highland Council.

On Friday 22nd February we will be having a dress colourful day in memory of Hamish and we will fly our rainbow flag in the playground. This is not a fund raising event but if you wish to donate to Team Hamish we will pass it on to them.
