Pitfour School prides itself on having a positive ethos as the foundation on which to build our learning and teaching.  Our curriculum offers a broad range of learning experiences, ensuring that the needs and interests of our pupils come first.  Pupils can contribute to school improvement through our Pupil Council, Pupil Voice Groups, Rights Respecting School, and ECO groups where they are encouraged to share ideas and plan changes which have a positive impact.  At all times we emphasise the importance of looking out for each other, taking responsibility and being good citizens and we stress the sense of mutual trust, respect and shared values and aims.

At Pitfour School our main aims are to create confident children who are equipped with skills for learning, life and work. Children are encouraged to become independent learners who are motivated to reach their full potential. We celebrate and take pride in what each individual achieves.

The whole school community works hard to create a welcoming, happy and positive environment where children can develop as people and as learners and where the well-being of the child matters as much as their attainment. Children are at the centre of all we do. At Pitfour children will see our values of honesty, respect, consistency, responsibility, achievement, inclusion and trust being modelled, to support their development, as they progress through the school. 

We do this through delivering the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) in Scotland which seeks to develop the following four capacities in every one of our pupils:

·         Confident Individuals

·         Successful Learners

·         Effective Contributors

·         Responsible Citizens
