St Timothys Primary School

We aim to provide you with up to date information about what is happening in St Timothy's through pictures, videos and text which detail the rich learning experiences and wonderful activities that happen on a daily basis both in school and further afield. The staff, children and parents of the school community are proud of the school's successes and through this website we hope to continue to share these with you.

In St Timothy’s Primary School and Nursery Class we provide a safe, happy learning environment within which all children are fully involved in planning and evaluating their learning experiences. We encourage all children to be the best they can be in every aspect of their development and to be successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
Working in partnership with stakeholders we strive to ensure that all of our children are achieving, healthy, active, safe, nurtured, included, respected and valued members of our multicultural society.

Our school, St Timothy’s Primary, is a denominational school located in the Greenfield area in the East of Glasgow. The school’s roll is currently 412 children plus 80 (40/40) children in the nursery class.

The school has very good working relationships with local schools and is part of the St Andrew’s Learning Community. In session 2012/13 the teaching compliment was 20.6 full time equivalent. The work of the school is ably supported by one full time and three part time clerical assistants, four pupil support assistants and four support assistants for children with additional learning needs. The school also has a very effective Nurture class which supports children across P1-3 and their families.

In the nursery class there is one teacher and four Child Development Officers. There is also a very active Parent Council, incorporating the former PTA, who are very supportive of, and work in close partnership with, the school.
