At Kilchuimen, we are keen to ensure that we have created a progressive curriculum which places our children and young people firmly at the centre of our planning. The curriculum takes account of the breadth and range of the Experiences and Outcomes presented by the Curriculum for Excellence documents.
The school provides a welcoming learning environment, where all members of the school community feel valued and are inspired to fulfil their potential.
We ensure that, throughout their time at Kilchuimen Nursery, Primary School and Academy, opportunities are created for the children and young people to develop skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work, so that they are well equipped for their future lives.
Our school and nursery aims clearly link with the four capacities of Successful Learners, Confident Individuals, Effective Contributors and Responsible Citizens.
The values we promote at Kilchuimen were carefully selected by staff and pupils in February 2020. They are:
Kindness
Aspiration
Respect
To create an ethos in which hard work is valued and possible, and where self-respect and respect for others are evident.
To promote personal achievement and encourage individuals to reach their potential.
To promote healthy lifestyles and wellbeing.
To develop self-esteem and confidence through the involvement of children and young people in decision making.
To ensure equality of opportunity and provision for all pupils, and so promote positive attitudes towards fairness.
To develop awareness of real-life issues and economic development.
