On this page, you’ll find links to reading/research which we’ve engaged with and used to inform our school improvements.
Nurture
Southesk Primary school is a fully Nurture embedded school following the Nurture principles all the way from Nursery to P7. The school is fortunate enough to have a full time Early Years Practitioner running interventions all day/every day out of our very own Nurture Room – “The Lighthouse”.
Fruit and Toast
Our school receives fresh fruit twice a week a Tesco which is available throughout the day to our pupils. We also receive break and bakery goods every Friday through the Tesco FairShare programme. Each of our classes is equipped with a toaster and the pupils can make toast throughout the day as they would like it.
