The first Jamieson Primary School was built of timber and was opened in 1865, and was replaced by the current brick structure in 1878.

Over the years enrolments have fluctuated, following the boom and bust cycles of the gold and timber industries, from 275 to 7!

There are currently 16 children at the school. Jamieson Primary has two classrooms. Pupils receive real individual care and guidance in their pursuit of knowledge.

The school enjoys a high level of community support and involvement, it provides a sense of family, where all children care for each other. The community is highly involved with the school, which has created a strong community ownership of the school.
