Williamston Primary School

I am delighted to welcome you to Williamston Primary School and hope that your child will be very happy throughout their years with us. We pride ourselves in being a vibrant learning community where the individual is valued and achievement in its widest sense is celebrated.

We have very strong home/school partnerships and welcome the support that parents can offer, not only to their own children but also to the wider school community. Parental support helps to enhance the activities on offer to the children and we value offers of help in any capacity.

Our curriculum is broad and balanced and we make every effort to ensure that it is relevant to today's society and therefore meaningful to the children. We use a variety of learning and teaching approaches and offer many opportunities for the children to learn independently and as part of a group. The skills they will develop will be essential to them as they progress beyond primary school and face the demands made of them as they get older.

We believe that learning should be enjoyable and believe that fun is an essential part of life at Williamston Primary. We want our pupils to leave Williamston Primary with very happy memories of their time here, having achieved success and feeling motivated and enthusiastic about their future.

We also believe that it is essential to create a school community where a fundamental value system is at its core, helping us to get it right for every child. The values of wisdom, justice, compassion and integrity guide us towards our goals and give us a framework within which we can reflect and through which we can help our children to become responsible citizens within society, today and in future years.

I look forward to working in partnership with you and should you have any issues, concerns or ideas for improvement, please feel free to share these with me.
