Mission Statement of the school

At Barnton Community Primary School we aim to provide all pupils with opportunities to develop self-confidence, enabling them to fulfil their potential, by engaging them in an enriched and exciting curriculum: providing worthwhile experiences which are enjoyable, motivational and stimulating.

We strive to equip pupils with the skills necessary to access the ever-widening range of knowledge and understanding enabling them to become valued and self-respecting citizens and life long learners.

Our purpose is to ensure that every child has the best education possible. To achieve this we believe in the following:

Children learn best when they:

• Feel happy, secure and confident;
• Are interested and motivated, by high quality teaching in lessons and in every other part of school life;
• Achieve success and gain approval, celebrating their own accomplishment and those of others;
• Are given tasks which closely match their ability;
• Clearly understand what is expected of them;
• Are confident, feel secure and are aware of boundaries;
• Are challenged and stimulated.
