Our School Ethos
We promote an ethos based on inclusion, mutual respect, fairness and equal opportunity. We promote high expectations in all our pupils and endeavour to provide a consistently high quality educational experience for our children, in partnership with all our parents, carers and other partner agencies. The school community identified our values as;
Wellbeing Respect Teamwork Achievement
Excellence Friendship Kindness Courage
all of which are embedded in our school ethos.
We celebrate our children’s achievements regularly through a series of class rewards including stickers and house points. At a whole school level we celebrate our children’s achievements at assembly. Our Pupil Council, House Captains, Eco Committee, Fairtrade Committee, Tech Team, Health and Wellbeing Committee, Rights Respecting Schools Committee, Sports Leaders and Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSO) help promote our children’s views in school and take forward initiatives which enhance the learning experience of all our pupils.
We work in partnership with our local community, including our library, local churches, all schools within the Duncanrig Learning Community, Active Schools Co-ordinator, local nursing home and sheltered housing: all of which motivates our children, promotes positive citizenship and fosters good relationships.
We work with a range of partners in the voluntary section and local businesses such as SSPCA, Barnardo’s, Kilbryde Hospice and local authors etc.
