We aim to foster in our children values and attitudes which will serve them well throughout their whole lives as we firmly believe that the span of years between four and twelve is most formative and is filled with enthusiasm for living. This is achieved by encouraging and channelling energies into the development of a balanced and mature person, able to function on his or her own and with others, displaying social values of benefit to the child and to the community at large. Within this section you will find detailed the aims for the school and these reflect the ethos created by all staff and pupils in the school.
In Killermont Primary we aim to:
1. Raise standards of attainment by providing a broad and balanced curriculum, which is appropriate to the needs of all children and is motivating, challenging and enables them to reach their potential.
2. Provide a safe, happy and attractive environment that is well resourced.
3. To support and develop the skill of staff in order to provide an effective learning and teaching environment of the highest quality.
4. Promote equality of opportunity paying due regard without discrimination to disabilities, S.E.N., gender, religious persuasion, racial origin and to the cultural and linguistic background of the children and parents.
5. To foster positive and productive partnerships with pupils, parents, outside agencies and the wider community.
6. Help children to become independent learners, be aware of their social responsibilities, to be creative, healthy and to develop a positive attitude to life. |
