Situated approximately 10 miles from Dumfries town centre and 7 miles from Annan, off the A75 and on the Dalton, Ecclefechan B725, the school is bounded on two sides by the village and open farmland on the other two sides.

Tarmac, paved and grassed play areas, as well as a football pitch offer ample space for outdoor activities. The grounds have been planted with trees and shrubs and a barked play area has also been provided.

The school was officially opened in November 1974 and replaced an older building in Dalton Village. The school serves a wide catchment area including the villages of Carrutherstown and Dalton and the surrounding rural areas.

Classrooms open out into a general purpose area which is used for lessons including PE, Music, Dance and Drama. A small computer suite with 6 networked computers is located at one side of this area and there is space to accommodate tables for smaller groups of children to work.

The school is well resourced and has benefited from new equipment for PE/Health activities, installation of an Interactive Whiteboard and Digital Projector in each of the two class bases and new musical instruments.

Visiting specialists of music, physical education, art and learning support teach regularly in school.
