Hallside Primary School is a non-denominational, co-educational primary school serving the Halfway area of Cambuslang along with the villages of Hallside, Westburn, Newton, and the Drumsargard Village housing development in the vicinity of the school. It is part of the Cathkin Learning Community.

The new building opened in 1996, is open plan in design and is organised into 12 bases round a central suite of withdrawal spaces including assembly hall/gymnasium, audio-visual room, a well appointed library and activity room which also serves as a dining hall. There is a noisy/quiet room at the southern end of the building. In 2001 and 2005 modular units were added to the building giving us three additional classrooms, a GP room and a structured play room. The school has a bright, stimulating environment. 4 modular classrooms were added onto the school grounds in 2010. Meals are prepared on site. The school has a tarmac play area, additional grass playing area, and an enclosed pitch area. There is a secure entry system, secure lighting at night and roller shuttering fitted to all doors and windows.
