Pittencrieff Primary School

Our values at Pittencrieff are Care, Respect, Responsibility and Kindness and our vision is ‘Learning together’’.

Pittencrieff Primary School and Nursery is in the centre of Dunfermline close to Pittencrieff Park. It provides a broad general education for children in the local community and the 51% of children who are outwith catchment. Outdoor Learning is a key element of our curriculum and we take advantage of our central location. We have a school roll of 187 and 7 classes from P1 to P7. The senior leadership team consists of a Headteacher, Principal Teacher and temporary Principal Teacher. Pittencrieff Nursery is a term-time, 9-3 nursery provision and has capacity for 61 children, 45 within the indoor provision and 16 within the outdoor nursery setting. We have undertaken a pilot for the outdoor nursery provision in Pittencrieff Park and are continuing with this. It allows our nursery children the opportunity to have a blended placement with part of the week outdoors.

At Pittencrieff we aim to provide:

• A nurturing environment where children have a voice in the life of the school and can develop resilience,  perseverance, co-operation and a growth mindset
• Challenging and stimulating learning and teaching that is real, relevant and specific to the needs of individuals
