The building has been mothballed by Fife Council, and the youngsters moved to Coaltown of Balgonie Primary.

It has a capacity for 75 pupils, but current numbers stand at ten and were due to drop to just two as parents agreed to move them to other schools.

Kevin Funnell, education service, said: “We’ll be mothballing the school this year.”
