New Monkland primary school is a non-denominational school with co-educational status. Stages taught are from nursery to primary seven. The school is situated on the hill above the village of Glenmavis. It is conveniently placed between the original village and the housing estates which have been built towards the north end of the village, and is easily reached on foot from both areas. |
| The original building, dating from 1876 was extended in 1960 to meet the needs of a growing population. The school works closely with the community and this was recognised in June 2002 when the school received both the Eco Green Flag Award and the School Curriculum Award. Two members of staff and two pupils travelled to London to receive the award from the Duke of Gloucester in the Tate Modern. |

At present there are 10 teaching members of staff, eight full time and two part time job sharers. In addition there are three clerical assistants, two classroom assistants, two special needs assistants and one janitor.
New Monkland nursery was established in August 1999 and provides pre-five education for three to five year olds. Five sessions a week are offered either morning or afternoon. At the moment a maximum of 50 children can be catered for, 30 in the morning and 20 in the afternoon. However, if necessary this can be expanded to 30 in the morning and 30 in the afternoon. At present the nursery is staffed with one full time teacher, one full time nursery nurse and one part time nursery nurse.
The nursery worked in the partnership with the primary school in achieving the Eco Green Flag Award in June 2002.
Pupils normally transfer from primary to secondary between the ages of 11.5 and 12.5 so that they will have the opportunity to complete at least four years of secondary education. Pupils from New Monkland primary normally transfer to Airdrie Academy, South Commonhead Avenue, Airdrie.
