Our Vision, Core Values and School Motto

Over recent months we have engaged with stakeholders regarding our school vision, core values and motto. This engagement included staff surveys, a pupil focus group, and a school motto competition for pupils.  

Our Board of Governors have now ratified our new School Vision, Core Values and School Motto.

We thank our staff and pupils for their contribution, and congratulate Joe on winning the school motto competition (as selected by Primary 7 pupils).
