High Blantyre Primary School

Great fun had by all our Primary 7 pupils at their final school trip to Lockerbie.

Another very successful World Book day was organised by Our Reading Schools group, Mrs Brown and Mrs McLean.

Children experiences a range of different activities and the excitement could be felt throughout the school.

As a passionate Reading School we are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day. Teachers have planned a full day of fun activities for their classes.

We will be welcoming back Gerry the Singing Storyteller to entertain and inspire our readers.

Look out for photographs of our day.

 

We are a Rights Respecting School and teach our children about their rights through weekly assemblies, classroom activities and the general day to day life and work of the school. Our School Behaviour and Relationships Policy, ‘The High Blantyre Way,’ reflects our core values and rules ‘Ready, Respectful and Safe,’ and attachment informed approach to managing and supporting children to understand their emotions and behaviour.

We are having a big focus on respect for each other and our school environment. Staff have been motivating pupils to look after their property and take pride in their school. There has been a reduction in lost property and the school is looking particularly tidy.

Our Leadership Team have been giving out ‘Cool Cards’ designed by our pupil voice groups to pupils seen displaying our values ‘Ready, Respectful and Safe.’
