Maureen Macdonald, Head Teacher at Port Ellen Primary School, said: \u201cAt Port Ellen Primary we endeavour to provide an education that enables all our children, from early years right through to primary seven, to acquire and develop the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to thrive in and to shape our ever changing world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to give our learners the confidence to develop and celebrate their individuality and creativity and to help them see their worth and value in society.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so privileged to work alongside passionate, conscientious staff and so proud of everyone within the school community who collectively support our children to be the best they can be and to realise their potential. That\u2019s what makes the difference!\u201d<\/p>\n

Argyll and Bute Council\u2019s Policy Lead for Education, Councillor Yvonne McNeilly, said: \u201cThe Pearson National Awards are widely recognised for celebrating the best educators in the country, so it is wonderful news that Port Ellen Primary has been selected for a prestigious silver award.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeachers play a vital role in our young peoples\u2019 lives. From their earliest school days right through to their senior years, a good teacher can have a massive impact. They can help young people grow in confidence and, with the right encouragement and teaching methods, they can inspire our young people to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely proud of everyone at Port Ellen for the commitment they continue to provide pupils on a daily basis and I wish them all the very best as they progress through to the gold awards.\u201d<\/p>\n
