In November, we asked 3 ‘big questions’ in order to gather your views to inform our new vision and set of values for Gargieston PS & ECC.
Your feedback to these questions has been collated and there were many common themes in your responses. We would now like to ask for your support in responding to this brief survey to identify what you think our school values should be.
The link below will direct you straight to the survey – there will be no request for email addresses or passwords. You will be asked to select the 5 values which you think are most important from a list containing key words from your responses to the ‘big questions’. The survey will take you less than a minute to complete.
With over 300 families across our ECC and school, your responses to this survey will form a large part of our consultation process and the creation of our updated school vision and values.
Thank you very much to the 50 families who have responded to our survey so far. We look forward to receiving more responses over the weekend 🙂

Thank you to everyone who attended the parent workshop last night. Pauline’s presentation about the loss of her beautiful 13 year old daughter was emotional as well as informative. I know we were all filled with admiration about the work Pauline and her charity carries out in memory of Jenna to promote positive feelings of self-worth in young people.
In reflecting on the presentation, there were 3 key points that stood out for me, both as a Mum and as a Head Teacher:
Just a reminder that on Wednesday night this week, Pauline Moriarty, founder of local Scottish Registered charity ‘Beautiful Inside & Out’ (Scio) will deliver an outline of the background, aims and services of the charity, with discussion of ways in which all adults can promote positive mental health in our young people.
The school has strong links with the charity and would urge parents to come along and listen to Pauline talk about her personal journey and the development of the charity.
If you would like to come along at 7pm on Wednesday night, please scroll down to the initial post and add your name on the drop down menu.
