It is our aim at Castleton Primary School to prepare all our learners with the
range of Literacy skills, abilities and knowledge they need for life, learning and work. Literacy is
fundamental to all areas of learning as it unlocks access to the wider curriculum. Being literate
increases opportunities for the individual in all aspects of life, lays the foundation for lifelong
learning and work, and contributes strongly to the development of all four capacities of
Curriculum for Excellence.
Castleton Primary Literacy Policy
It is our aim at Castleton Primary School to prepare all our learners with
the range of mathematical skills, abilities and knowledge they need for life,
learning and work. Castleton Primary fully embraces the Glasgow Counts Mission Statement:
We want our young people to engage with mathematics and build their comprehension of the
subject across the curriculum. Society requires young people who are sophisticated
mathematical thinkers, pattern spotters and problem solvers therefore we aim to empower our
young people as mathematicians. We aim to provide opportunities for learning that promote
deep engagement with all areas of Mathematics. Our purpose is to offer a better way to build
mathematical understanding in and beyond our classrooms.
