In St. Mary’s Primary our motto is, we grow and learn together. We 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, a caring community, sharing experience, an attitude of respect and achievement for all. In St. Mary’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 to support pupil attainment and the impact of this in staff professional learning and teaching and learning which is evident in attainment last session.
