Our Literacy and English learning covers:

Listening and Talking
Reading
Writing

These skills are essential for learning, work and life and the experience of learning another language.  Language is at the core of thinking and a love of reading can be an important starting point for lifelong learning.
Competence in language is important to a child’s self respect. Scotland has a rich diversity of languages and dialects and we value and build upon the language that a child brings to school.

The main reading schemes that the school uses are Story World and Literacy World, although there are several other supplementary resources available. There is a structured approach to teaching all aspects of reading and writing including spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Children learn German from P5 to P7 and continue with this language in to secondary school. We are in the process of introducing Spanish as a second modern language to our children from P1 to P7.
