Our ethos is based on a Ready, Respectful, Safe provision and we promote our values through this. We place our learners at the centre and strive to ensure that all children achieve their highest potential.

There is a strong sense of teamwork and staff are given opportunities to lead developments from our School Improvement Plan. Staff regularly self-evaluate, reflect and make action plans to drive forward improvement. Children are consulted through pupil focus groups to improve the pupil voice within all areas of the curriculum and school community. In our schools in Orkney, it is our mission to make positive meaningful changes in the lives of young people. We aim to provide an exceptional learning and working environment for pupils and staff and work in partnership with parents, support staff and other professionals.
