Welcome to our Website

     James Gillespie's Primary is a non-denominational, co-educational school from Nursery to Primary 7.

     We are very proud of our traditions and high standards in teaching, learning, attainment and achivement which we hope will equip our pupils for lifelong learning.   We provide a safe, caring environment where every child is valued as an individual and where diversity is celebrated.

     We recognise the knowledge and skills which children bring to school and build on these to ensure that every child receives challenging and appropriate experiences to meet their individual needs.   We place high value on the acquisition of basic skills as well as ensuring that our pupils experience a broad and varied curriculum.

     We believe it is important that individual talents and interests are promoted and we aim to provide activities and events both within and outwith school to cater for a variety of interests.

     We place a great deal of emphasis on developing close links with parents and carers.   We have a very active Parent Council and PTA who work together effectively with the school for the benefit of pupils.

     In collaboration with parents we aim to educate our pupils to become responsible citizens within their school, the local community and as citizens of the global village.

     The staff at James Gillespie's feel privileged to share with you in your child's education and look forward to working with you.

I do hope you find the information on this web site useful.  Please feel free to make an appointment to see me if you have any questions.
