Kirkton Primary is a newly built school, situated in the centre of Carluke. \u00a0The school serves a catchment area comprising private and council housing.<\/p>\n

The original building was replaced by a new\u00a0 building which was officially opened in May 2015. The school has a Muga Pitch and extensive school grounds to facilitate outdoor learning.<\/p>\n

The school has 8 classrooms, a muti-purpose conference room, visiting services room, computer suite, a large dining hall, a gym hall and break out areas to enhance teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

The school has a Parent Council called ‘Friends of Kirkton’. We welcome parent and community helpers in school and enjoy a very good level of support from parents and the community.<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s priorities for improvement are outlines in our Improvement Plan. \u00a0High priority is placed on providing a Broad General Education for all pupils and developing Literacy & English and Maths & Numeracy across learning to raise attainment within Curriculum for Excellence.<\/p>\n

The school has well established links with other local schools and organisations. Our pre-school pupils enjoy a comprehensive induction programme to familiarise them and their families with the school. Our P7 pupils also engage in a range of Primary\/Secondary transition arrangements for local secondary schools.<\/p>\n

The school provides a wide variety of activities and opportunities to develop the life and ethos of the school and promote wider achievement for all. We have a bronze\u00a0 in the Rights Respecting Schools Award. Each year the P7 pupils undertake a residential experience to Lockerbie Manor this session.<\/p>\n

We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities including football, netball, keep fit, drama and choir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
