Catrine PS and ECC – Vision, Values and Aims
Catrine PS and ECC – Vision, Values and Aims
Click on the link below to see our new poster …
Over the last couple of years we have been working together to update our Vision, Values and Aims. Last session we introduced our new CATRINE Values and this session we have focused on reviewing our Aims.
Our Aims are a description of our Values and both pupils and staff decided that, whilst we need the detailed version, we also needed a version of our Aims that could be understood by all of our children, at both the ECC and PS. Our P7 pupils worked together and produced a much shorter, child-friendly version of our Aims and we’ve included them in our poster.
We would like your opinion about our new Vision, Values and Aims poster and content. Please take the time to read through the poster above and let us know any comments/suggestions on the Form below. We appreciate your input and thank you for your continued support.

Home Circles @ January 2025
In our Home Circles today we focused on Article 30 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Article 30 states that ‘every child should have the freedom to enjoy their culture, practise their religion and speak their language with other members of their minority.’
The BIG questions our pupils answered were …
- Why is it important that we learn about the languages, cultures and traditions of other countries in school?
- In our school, when do we learn about – different countries? – different cultures and traditions? – different languages?
As always, our excellent Home Circles came up with some insightful and thoughtful answers. Read them below …
We also focused on our CATRINE Value of Inclusion.
