Our school vision and values were recently renewed, in consultation with learners, families and staff as part of our ambition to become a learning organisation learning with and from our local community to provide the best learning experiences for our children and young people.

VISION AND VALUES

SCHOOL ETHOS

At Girvan Primary School we aim to educate children for the 21st century by creating a positive school ethos which allows children to achieve their full potential by providing a curriculum reflecting national guidelines while fostering enterprise, creativity and cultural awareness.

The ethos of our school is built around both the core values of South Ayrshire Council and the aims of this school. Following consultation with staff and pupils, in which everyone had an opportunity to participate, a list of core values was drawn up.

These were further discussed by the Pupil Council and parent bodies and the following values were shortlisted and adopted:

• Respect
• Doing Your Best
• Care and Compassion
• Health and Happiness
• Responsibility
• Honesty and Trustworthiness
