St Fillan's Primary School and Nursery Class

Our Vision, Values and Aims

We want St. Fillan’s Primary and Nursery Class to be a community:

where everyone is treated with respect and fairness.
where everyone continually strives to reach his/her spiritual, moral, physical, mental and educational potential.
where everyone works in partnership to improve and to meet the needs of all learners.
where everyone is prepared to think creatively, try things differently, make mistakes and learn from those mistakes.

We aim to:

foster a love of God and neighbour.
meet the needs of all children through reflectively adapting learning and teaching approaches.
work cooperatively with all partners in our children’s education to create healthy, happy, confident, responsible citizens with a desire to keep learning.
