Catholic Schools
Our community is served by a very good Catholic Primary school in Annan, called St Columba's.
This is the only denominational school in Annandale and Eskdale.
The Catholic Secondary school is St Joseph's College, Dumfries.
There are a number of other Catholic primary schools in our wider area which you may find convenient if you will be travelling for work etc to Dumfries each day.

Please support our Catholics schools as much as you possibly can by registering your children there for their education.
This is a unique opportunity for us as a catholic community to build on that link of home, school and parish.
