St Angelas Primary RC School

[EduCativ]

St Angela's Primary School in the South Side of Glasgow serves the local Catholic communities of Darnley, Deaconsbank, Parkhouse, and Southpark. The school was opened in 1977, by the late Cardinal Thomas Winning. It is a semi-open planned single-story building in which there are seven primary class bases and a purpose-built nursery class area. The school reached its full roll capacity of 394 pupils and 60 nursery children in 2006. The ethos in the school is one of happy, confident, responsible children thriving within a curriculum for excellence.
Curriculum for Excellence aims to achieve a transformation in education in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible, and enriched curriculum from 3 to 18. It aims to raise standards, prepare our children for a future they do not yet know, and equip them for the jobs of tomorrow in a fast-changing world.
Curriculum for Excellence enables professionals to teach subjects creatively, to work together across the school and with other schools, to share best practices, and explore learning together. Glow, Scotland’s unique, world-leading, the online network supports learners and teachers in this and plans are already in place for parents/carers across the country to have access to Glow.
Teachers and practitioners will share information to plan a child’s ‘LEARNING JOURNEY from 3-18, helping their progression from nursery to primary, primary to secondary, and beyond, ensuring the change is smooth. They’ll ensure children continue to work at a pace they can cope with and with a challenge they can thrive on.
Every child is entitled to a broad and deep general education, whatever their level and ability. Every single teacher and practitioner will be responsible for literacy and numeracy - the language and numbers skills that unlock other subjects and are vital to everyday life.
