Anna Ritchie School

Anna Ritchie serves as the Complex Needs Provision for the Peterhead and Mintlaw Community School Networks.

On this website you will find important information about our school. If you would like to know anything further please do not hesitate to get in touch using the details in the 'Contact Us' section. Alternatively, Aberdeenshire Council's website has lots of useful information pertaining to schools and the school estates, including such things as term dates and school lunches. You can find that website by following this link: https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/schools/

Parents/carers of pupils at the school, please note that regular updates about your child's learning will be received through daily home-school communication. Current communication is through Just2Easy. Sign in information can be provided from the school office. 

The consultation process about the proposed move has begun.

You will find the proposal document and an information poster in the 'Anna Ritchie Proposed Relocation' section. All members of the community were invited to have their say. 

Peterhead Community Campus project is facing an additional delay, following communication from our preferred contractor Robertson Construction that they are withdrawing from the project.

The project was already experiencing delays following issues with the required supply chain and market volatility.

The withdrawal of Robertson’s as preferred contractor means that further work is required to reconsider options to progress the project. A further update will be provided following engagement with the construction sector on the best way to proceed, likely costs and timescales.

Aberdeenshire Council remains committed to building a new community campus for Peterhead. However, it is likely that the project completion will now be delayed until January 2028 at the earliest.

Accessing the right support at the right place and at the right time is at the heart of Aberdeenshire Council's education service provision. This applies to our families and the wider community as much as the pupils. Knowing how to access the right support can be tricky. As a result, the Council have produced a list of organisations that can support those who need it. This list tells you the kind of support that is offered and how to get in touch with the appropriate organisation.

Here at Anna Ritchie we are whole-heartedly committed to supporting our local community and have shared the list (called the Buchan Service Directory) on this website. You can find it in the 'Community Support' section.
