I am proud to lead a school with such a strong sense of community and to work alongside our children, families and staff as we build on all that is good about Ardgowan.<\/p>\n

At Ardgowan, we want every child to feel happy, safe and valued, while being supported and challenged to achieve their very best. We have high expectations for all our pupils and aim to provide high-quality learning experiences that help them succeed, enjoy their time at school and discover their strengths and talents.<\/p>\n

Our values of Honesty, Friendship, Achievement and Respect are at the heart of school life. We want our children to achieve well in their learning, while also growing in confidence, developing positive relationships and building the skills and qualities they will need throughout their lives.<\/p>\n

Strong relationships are central to the school we strive to be. We value the partnership between school and home and believe that children achieve most when families and staff work together.<\/p>\n

We are equally proud of Ardgowan’s place within the wider community and are committed to strengthening these connections, creating opportunities for our children to contribute to and learn from the community around them.<\/p>\n

I hope our website gives you a useful insight into life at Ardgowan and helps keep you up to date with the learning, achievements and wider experiences of our school community.<\/p>\n
