We aim to work in partnership with you to enable our children to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors, and responsible citizens. Our pupils contribute to the management of the school through our Pupil Council.
All stakeholders were audited on developing our Vision, Values, and Aims at the beginning of 2011. The Parent Council was consulted along with Pupils Staff and Our Priests. We then consulted all our parents through a questionnaire and through discussions at Parents’ Evening in May. This was also readily accepted by all stakeholders.
In St Ninian’s as a community of faith and learning, we will value each young person as an individual thus enabling our children to fulfill their true potential to develop as fully formed individuals ready and prepared to meet the challenges of life and committed to serving Christ in others.
The whole community of St Ninian’s School will collaborate to promote success and achievement for all our children through high expectations and aspirations for all. We promote a climate of respect, equality, and inclusion recognizing the rich diversity of lifestyles and cultures of our pupils and their families. Through cooperation and partnership with other agencies and services, we aim to improve the life chances and outcomes for all our children and in particular address the needs of our most vulnerable children.
Young people are expected to attain the levels at the appropriate stages as set out above. Some children will start learning at these levels earlier and others later, depending upon individual needs and aptitudes. We regularly track children’s attainment and our attainment figures are impressive and continuously improving.
There is personal support to help young people fulfill their potential and make the most of their opportunities with additional support wherever that’s needed. There will be a new emphasis by all staff on looking after our children’s health and wellbeing – to ensure that a school is a place where children feel safe and secure.
Ultimately, Curriculum for Excellence’s aim is to improve our children’s life chances, to nurture successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors, and responsible citizens, building on Scotland’s reputation for providing excellent education.
