Welcome to St Andrew's Primary Website

 

It is with pleasure that I welcome all existing and prospective parents, carers and pupils to St Andrew’s Roman Catholic Primary School.

 

St Andrew's is a denominational school, catering for boys and girls from nursery to primary 7. Our current roll is 406 pupils, including our nursery pupils.

In choosing to enrol your child into our school, you can expect, with your support and co-operation, based on our vision, values and aims, that we at St Andrew’s will endeavour to provide the very best education for your child. This will include catering for their academic, emotional, physical, spiritual and social needs.

School Ethos

At St Andrew’s we believe that each pupil is an important, unique individual, created in the image and likeness of God, who should feel that school is an important and happy place to learn and develop the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.

As a school community, we aim to promote an ethos of openness and partnership as, working together, we will enable your child to reach his/her full potential. We appreciate that this can only be achieved if parents are kept well informed and consulted about the school, its curriculum, policies and procedures. As a staff, we continue to develop these in partnership with parents, carers and pupils and with national and local guidance from both government and church. We do not have the facility to provide Gaelic medium education.

School History and Facilities

St Andrew’s RC Primary School was officially opened by Councillor Kevin Keenan, Leader of the Administration, Dundee City Council, on Monday 1st December 2008.

Our school community already enjoys the benefits of a modern, well-equipped school where facilities have been designed to provide learning and teaching environment fit for the twenty first century. The building offers generous accommodation including an assembly hall with stage, a drama studio, a community room and a very spacious games hall. There are 14 classrooms, a purpose built nursery and a modern, open planned library area, equipped with computers, shared learning areas and community and conference rooms.

 

I do hope that this handbook provides you with all the information required about our school community.

Should you have any concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school to arrange an appointment with myself or any member of staff, as appropriate.

With kind regards

Avril Barnett

Head Teacher (Acting)
