This resource is fully research informed, by Edinburgh University - Dr S Rhodes.

Polytunnel update
We are delighted that our polytunnel has now been installed in the playground; pupils and staff can't wait to get started showing off their green fingers! We are just putting the finishing touches to the area and making sure we have the resources the pupils will need to get stuck into sustainability learning in term 4.This area will be well used and we are hoping to have some artificial grass around it to support this. If you are able to help with the supply and fitting of this, please get in touch.
A very warm welcome is extended to you from all at Carstairs Primary School.
Working as a team, we aim to nurture a happy, safe and stimulating learning environment, conducive to every child achieving their potential. We strive to ensure that all of our learners have access to an enjoyable, broad and relevant curriculum, with support and challenge being readily available. We celebrate achievement and attainment and work hard to maintain a warm, positive, nurturing, ‘Can-Do’ ethos, in which all members of our community feel valued.
Our school vision statement is - ‘Be safe, be happy, be all you can be’. We value effort, respect, confidence and kindness. As a whole school community, working with passion, enthusiasm and drive, we are absolutely and relentlessly committed to ensuring that this vision and these values are fully realised by our learners.
We operate an open door policy. Our team believes strongly in the benefits of partnership working, in aiming to provide the best possible education for your child. We believe whole-heartedly, in the power of partnerships with our parents and families, in order to help our learners achieve their maximum potential.
If you have any questions/queries at any time, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be delighted to hear from you.
