Mountfleurie Primary School

Our Vision

Mountfleurie will strive for excellence and endeavour to equip our learners with life-skills designed to encourage honesty, fairness, an acceptance of responsibility and tolerance towards others. We will strive to encourage our learners to become compassionate citizens who will contribute positively to society through their wisdom, justice and integrity.

Mountfleurie School Code

Our school ethos bases itself on relationships and responsibilities and our school code is very simple:-

1. Be kind and show respect to others
2. Always do your best
3. Keep each other safe
4. Be proud of Mountfleurie Primary School – look after it

We work together with parents and carers, health professions, the local and wider community to support our children. Our pupils too have opportunities to be involved in decision making through our Pupil Voice.

Mountfleurie Primary School, aims to provide a broad, experiential curricular opportunities which encourages pupils to build on prior learning and develop new skills. Our children will be valued and supported to be successful learners, effective contributors, responsible citizens and confident individuals. In offering a totality of experiences, our children should leave school with the skills, qualities and attributes which will allow them to fully participate in our modern Scottish society.

At Mountfleurie, all our children are entitled to a broad general curriculum. Children in nursery and P1 are entitled to early experiences and outcomes, P2-P4 are entitled to first and P5 - P7 are entitled to second. Within these experiences, children will have opportunities to develop their skills through a curriculum which is:

• Coherent from nursery through to their transfer to secondary education.
• Founded on the belief that Health and Wellbeing is at the core of our learning.
• Founded on sound learning and teaching practices including well-planned learning experiences, which are active and
  engaging and based upon sound pedagogical research.
• Based upon developing skills and competences in literacy and numeracy and fostering an ability to make informed choices
  about their health and well being
• Real and relevant now and to the world of work in the future.
• Based upon rich and challenging learning for all, taking account of collaborative working with partner agencies.
