Kings Park Primary School

King's Park Primary School is at the heart of the community it serves and is very much part of the community. We have worked hard to create a safe, welcoming and positive ethos, which ensures that all pupils have the maximum opportunity to learn. Our school places a strong emphasis on tailoring learning and teaching to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to reach his/her potential.

We aim to work in partnership with parents and actively encourage them to take a positive role in the education of their children. Our school is committed to becoming a community in which we value respect aiming to respect ourselves, treat others as we would want to be treated, show kindness and encourage others to do the right thing.

We value honesty aiming to be truthful even when it is difficult to do so. We value our health and wellbeing and aim to look after ourselves and our bodies, have confidence in our own abilities and continue to strive to improve as a school and as individuals. We recognise our uniqueness and work hard to develop resilience. The school wants each child to achieve their potential through hard work and a determination to succeed. We recognise the importance of caring for ourselves, our school, our community and our world.

Our purpose is to make sure that our pupils are:

• Successful learners - actively engaged in learning, knowing how to learn and improve
• Confident individuals - with high self-esteem and ambition
• Responsible citizens - caring for other people in the school, local, national and global communities
• Effective contributors to society - with initiative and imagination.

The purpose of Curriculum for Excellence is to ensure that all the children and young people of Scotland develop the attributes, knowledge and skills they will need if they are to flourish in life, learning and work, now and in the future.
