Carnwath Primary School’s motto is \u2018I Dare\u2019. Below you will find a description of how this became our motto and why it is displayed on our school badge.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2018I Dare\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/h1>\n

A thousand years ago a relative of the Scottish king, Kenneth II, was killed by the Picts, a tribe of warriors who lived in Scotland.<\/h2>\n

The king was very upset about this and so he offered a large reward to anyone who would bring back the body of his relative.<\/h2>\n

At first nobody was bold enough to take on such a dangerous job. Eventually however one brave man from the king\u2019s court came forward and agreed to try. He came to the king and said \u2018Dalziel\u2019 which means \u2018I Dare\u2019. He set off into a dangerous part of the country and he rescued the body and brought it back to the king.<\/h2>\n

The king was very pleased, so, in memory of the event he named the man and his family Dalziel and allowed him and his descendants to have a family crest or badge which featured a man, along with the motto \u2018I Dare\u2019.<\/h2>\n

Later the Dalziel family became Earls of Carnwath, so the motto \u2018I Dare\u2019 became associated with Carnwath.<\/h2>\n

\u2018I Dare\u2019 appears on our school badge because we believe that all children who <\/em>attend Carnwath Primary School should be willing and eager to face <\/em>challenges in a confident manner.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Children of Carnwath Primary\u2026\u2026.. be bold and challenge yourself!<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dare to aim for excellence!<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
