Welcome to Newbigging Primary School. We are a small, friendly and welcoming rural school on the border of Angus and Dundee.

Our School Vision

Following consultation with parents, staff, pupils and the local community in 2024, our vision is “Preparing for the Path”. At Newbigging we believe that education should prepare children for the path they may choose in life, whatever that may be.

Our Core Values

Our Newbigging values were developed in consultation with all stakeholders in the school. We consulted staff, children, parents and our community.

• Respect
• Kindness
• Friendship

GIRFEC

Across our schools, we aim to Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC). This is in line with the GIRFEC policy developed by the Scottish Government. These indicators are; Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respectful, Responsible and Included.  These have been developed over time across our school community and have become part of our language of learning. Children are encouraged to reflect upon our school vision, values and aims as part of their daily routine to consolidate positive behaviour.

 

Rights Respecting Schools

At Newbigging, we have our Silver Rights Respecting Schools Award. We teach our pupils about their rights and have a Right of the Month where we focus on learning about the different rights and complete activities linked to this right.
