At High Blantyre Primary School we aim to create an inclusive, secure and safe environment in which every child feels happy, confident and valued as an individual. All staff work hard to ensure that our children continue to progress, achieve and attain to the best of their abilities.
Emphasis is placed on the health and wellbeing of all our pupils and the teaching and learning of core skills such as reading, writing, spelling and numeracy and mathematics, as well as providing a wide range experiences in all other areas of the primary school curriculum. We provide many opportunities for our pupils to participate in school leadership groups and community initiatives to develop their active citizenship, social and political awareness, self confidence and resilience, developing their skills for learning, life and work.
We provide a range of extra curricular activities which include: a library club, netball, boys and girls football, athletics, dance and a variety of short term activities throughout the year for a different age groups. We participate in a range of local sporting and creative events and promote and support wider achievements both in and beyond school. We have a School Library Team, Pupil Council, an Eco Committee, Twitter Group, Rights Respecting Schools Committee and a School Improvement Leadership Group. We give our pupils opportunities to take on roles and responsibilities within the school and listen to their ideas and opinions.
We aim to work in partnership with our parents and carers to provide our pupils with the best educational opportunities and experiences possible.
Throughout the life and work of the school, we promote our school’s Vision and Values, through strong positive relationships with our children and families and foster an ethos which encourages everyone to respect themselves and each other.
