Welcome to St Ninian’s Primary School

August 2022

Welcome to St Ninian’s school website. On behalf of all the staff we warmly welcome you to our school. In St. Ninian’s Primary our motto is “Aspiring to greatness, inspired to learn.” All members of staff are dedicated to providing an ethos of motivation, inspiration and achievement.  We aim to create a positive, caring, learning environment, nurture respect and responsibility and encourage everyone to be the best they can be.  We have high expectations not only with regard to pupil learning but also regarding behaviour and respect for one another.  We believe in equality of opportunity, promoting a caring community, sharing experience, an attitude of respect and achievement for all.

In St. Ninian’s we ensure that all children achieve their potential in every area of a broad curriculum and leave primary school with those necessary skills to transfer and use in their secondary education.  The Scottish Government has provided additional funding over the last few years in the form of “Pupil Equity Funding” to support pupil attainment and the impact of this in staff development and teaching and learning is evident in pupils’ attainment. We will continue to focus on literacy and numeracy this session to ensure all needs are being met and pupils are progressing successfully in their learning.

Children learn to be independent and responsible whilst promoting the necessary skills to work collaboratively and respect each others’ views and opinions.  Pupils are encouraged to be courteous, mannerly and responsible in their actions and interaction with others.

It is our belief that the school is an integral part of the community.  By creating a very welcoming environment, working in partnership with parents, carers, the Parish and the wider community, we will together, achieve successful outcomes. Furthermore, as a catholic school, we promote the gospel values and demonstrate our faith through our ethos, prayer and attitudes. This contributes to the very positive and strong faith community we enjoy at St Ninian’s.

We value your opinions and views and hope that together we can journey towards a very positive outcome for your child here in St. Ninian’s and beyond.

Kind regards

Madeline McGeachie

Head Teacher
