Vision, Values & Aims
St Ignatius’ – A school like no other!
In St Ignatius’ Primary we strive to provide all of our children with a love for our Catholic School community where all have opportunities to become Confident Individuals, Effective Contributors, Responsible Citizens and Successful Learners.
Our ethos of welcoming all visitors and our community and parish links with our pupils, staff, families and friends, ensures that St Ignatius’ Primary is an integral part of Wishaw, and proud of Wishaw’s role within Scotland.
St Ignatius’ Primary is a family. We nurture our family and we encourage each other. Our faith make us stronger and is inclusive of everyone. We laugh, cry, make mistakes and succeed together. We try our best, and we do it with a smile on our faces!
Our children and staff learn together. We encourage a love for learning, for asking questions, reading more, learning in new ways and being active. Our pupils are confident in talking about their learning and know where they are going next.
St Ignatius’ Primary strives to close the gap for our children and we do so by knowing them, their families and our local community. We celebrate the achievements of all and, as a team, we look for ways to improve attainment and equity for all.
St Ignatius’ Primary is a ‘Have a go!’ school. We sing, dance, create, perform and reach for the stars. We encourage our children to persevere, to join in and take risks.
Our children build aspirations with us and look to the future with confidence. As they leave St Ignatius’ Primary we hope they will…
‘Go forth and set the world on fire, for the greater glory of God!’
