We are committed to recognising pupils' good behaviour and achievements. All pupils belong to a House and collect House Points. These points are collected and ribbons placed on the House Cup weekly to celebrate the House with the highest points. Children's wider achievements are shared and celebrated at assembly.
We have strong links with the local community. The minister of the parish church visits regularly and we take the children to church for services, to which parents, friends and members of the community are invited. We participate in community events such as the Largo Festival and the Horticultural Show and invite community members as well as parents into school for special events and performances. We also work closely with the Levenmouth Rotary Club and participate in their organised events and initiatives.
All children are members of committees which work hard to take forward their individual agendas, improving the life of the children at school and in the world.
We fundraise for charities by holding events which are organised by the children. The MacMillan Coffee morning is a well-established event in our annual calendar, as is Comic Relief and Sports Aid. Other charities are supported when appropriate.
