St Mirins Primary RC School

[EduCativ]

As a Catholic school, we promote the Gospel Values of Wisdom, Justice, Compassion, and Integrity. We aim to produce well-rounded individuals who will add something to the community they live in. St Mirin’s Primary has an excellent reputation both within the local community and across the city. I aim to continue building on that reputation and taking our school from strength to strength so that it will continue to be a school we can all be extremely proud of for a very long time.
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.
