Knockando Primary School is situated in a unique location, not far from Knockando Church and Cardhu Distillery. The building itself is of a traditional design and typical of small rural schools in Moray. The school has three distinct parts – a stone building, a horsea hut, and a wooden building which houses the kitchen, dining area and a classroom. The teaching block has recently been modernised to a high standard, and has very spacious comfortable areas for teaching and learning. The main building also houses Knockando Playgroup. There are two separate tarred areas – one is used as a playground and the other for parking. A full size football field and smaller grass playground can be safely accessed from the tarred area, on which is painted a range of children’s games.
