St Pauls Shettleston Primary School

In St Paul’s Primary School and Nursery Class it is our vision that every child should be supported and encouraged to be the very best they can be, in every aspect of their development, in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. As Article 3 of the UNCRC states ‘The best interests of the child must be a top priority in all decisions and actions that affect children’. We work together to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment where every member of our school community feels like they belong and that their rights, lives and experiences are valued and respected. We recognise the importance of working in close partnership with parents and external agencies to ensure that all of our children are safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included, in order to grow and develop as successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.

The shared values in our school are reflected in its ethos based on the Gospel Values of the Catholic Church, which include respect, wisdom, justice, integrity and humility. We involve children in the decision making process and recognise the dignity of each individual, made in the image and likeness of God, and respect this at all times.

At St Paul’s we take a holistic approach to education which focuses on developing the whole child with Christ at the centre of all we do. We are committed to the partnership of home, school and Parish and through all parties working together our children will be sure of success. Through this joint commitment we welcome new members to our school to grow and work in the love of Christ as we live out our vision statement to encourage the children to be the very best they can be, in every aspect of their development.

Here at St Paul’s we ensure your child will be encouraged, motivated and guided to ensure that they develop their natural gifts and talents whilst becoming confident, independent learners who know how to make informed decisions about the choices they make in life.
