Welcome to St. Barbara’s Primary School.
St. Barbara’s Primary School first opened as St. Joseph’s Primary in August 1933. The name was changed to St. Barbara’s on 16th August 1949.
The school caters predominantly for Catholic boys and girls within Muirhead, Chryston and Gartcosh. Additionally we have as placing requests, children who live outwith our designated catchment areas.
Educational Aims
The aim of the school is to offer each child the means to develop academically, socially and emotionally within a caring environment which is guided by Christian principles.
To support this concept the school will attempt to develop a caring ethos for pupils, parents and staff alike, thereby encouraging each group to actively participate in their own and in the school’s development.
We aim to promote equal opportunities, a sense of responsibility, respect and dignity for self and others.
We actively encourage our children to become confident individuals, successful learners, responsible citizens and effective contributors in school and in their community.
