Head Teachers’ Welcome

Welcome to the website of Dykehead Primary School. As Head Teacher, I am extremely proud to be able to share with you the work going on in our school community.

Dykehead Primary is a dynamic school within the heart of the Shotts community. Our children are bubbling with personality, proud of their school, inquisitive and keen to learn. Please take a look at the Pupil Leadership area of our website to read a welcome from our House Captains on behalf of the pupils community.

Our children are ably supported by an enthusiastic and committed staff team, and by our wider community of parents, carers and partners. Relationships are a strength of our school, and are at the heart of every decision we make.

We work hard to provide an engaging and highly relevant Curriculum, where all partners feel a sense of connectedness to the learning experience. This session we were delighted to achieve our Digital Schools Award, which we are extremely proud of. Wellbeing continues to be a driver for our collective work, so that we can support our children in building the resilience they need to enjoy good social and emotional health. Our goal is that they leave our school with high aspirations, the skills for learning and work, and a lifetime of memories.

I hope that this website will give you as much information as possible about our school, the staff, and the experiences that our children enjoy through our curriculum and our extra-curricular activities. We use our website for information purposes only, so if you have questions about our school then please contact us by emailing enquiries-at-dykehead@northlan.org.uk or by telephoning 01501826707.
