Pencaitland Parish Church

The picturesque church, set in the centre of the village, offers a warm welcome to regular attendees and visitors alike. We meet each Sunday at 10.45am and join our sister church in Ormiston for an evening service at 6.30pm. Other groups and activities within the church include Sunday Club for the younger members of the congregation, crèche, Guild, prayer and bible study groups. Many other activity groups also meet in the Carriage House.  

 

Pencaitland Primary School

The school is a modern primary with a special needs class for up to six children, along with a separate pre-school nursery set in the school grounds. Like all other schools in the region, it opens 4 full days Monday to Thursday and Friday mornings. The school has an active Parent Council and Parent Teacher Association.
