School Aims At Heriot Primary we aim to:
Curriculum To provide for each child a broad and balanced curriculum in line with national and council guidelines with structured and progressive programmes in all curricular areas.
Attainment
To enable all pupils to achieve their potential by maintaining and developing strategies which raise attainment.
Learning and Teaching
To provide a high quality of teaching which uses a variety of approaches to build on previous experience, to involve parents and to motivate children to take responsibility for their own learning.
Support for pupils To provide support for pupils so that they respect and care for themselves and others as they develop. This will involve their personal, social, emotional, physical, intellectual, aesthetic, moral and spiritual development.
Ethos To create a sense of identity and pride in the school by fostering caring partnerships among staff, pupils, parents, the community and other services. These partnerships should aim to create an effective and inclusive educational environment, a calm, self-disciplined atmosphere with high standards of pupil behaviour and responsible attitudes to learning.
Resources

Management, leadership and quality assurance
To manage the school effectively through policies, strategies and systems for planning, implementing and developing the curriculum and other areas of school life. To evaluate the work of the school in all areas through effective monitoring, using information gained to progress future development.
Our values to help us to achieve this are:
