Welcome to St. Timothy’s Primary School.
St. Timothy’s Primary School and Nursery Class is situated in Coatbridge. The role is approximately 426 in the school including 21 children attending the Phonological Centre, and a total of 70 children in the nursery class.
Our aims are to provide an atmosphere that allows all pupils to benefit from challenge and enjoyment in their learning, experience success, achieve their full potential and become people who make a full contribution to society. Distinctive features of the school include our commitment to the care and welfare of pupils, our inclusive nurturing ethos, our very strong relationships with parents, the leadership of the SMT and the development of teamwork across the school.
The head teacher, Mr Forbes, is supported by one depute head teacher and three principal teachers.
Historical Note

The official opening was performed by the Very Rev. Cannon Battel and the Right Reverend Francis Thomson, Bishop of Motherwell on the 21st November 1966 at a dedication ceremony.
