Learning Together and Growing Together to Be All That We Can Be
 
Together at Burnside Primary we will:
 
Harness children’s abilities, encouraging ambition and resilience through a varied, challenging and enjoyable curriculum. We will foster personal achievement and skills for life in an inclusive, nurturing, respectful and shared environment.


 
Our pupils and our school community wanted our school values to reflect GIRFEC (Getting It Right For Every Child) as we believe these are the building blocks of all learning. They shape our behavious and interactions with each other. It is important that we live these values every day; that we talk about them and commit to fulfilling them. Our 'Happy High 5' values mean we all strive to be:-

Safe
Healthy
Active
Respectful
Responsible
 

To help make the transition from pre-school to P1 as smooth as possible, we have a super ‘buddy system’ in place. Each new P1 pupil is introduced to their P7 buddy during their visits before starting school. Throughout the session, the Burnside Buddies take part in a variety for fun activities together. These sessions help the little buddies settle in and encourage our big buddies to develop responsibility. Buddy Lunch is a huge favourite!
