Welcome to our Primary School
Kinloch Rannoch Primary School provides a welcoming, safe and nurturing environment for your child to learn. Our vision is of a learning community where every individual is supported to be successful and encouraged to be creative, motivated and independent lifelong learners. In common with Perth and Kinross Council as a whole, our vision is of a confident and ambitious Perth and Kinross with a strong identity and clear outcomes where everyone works together to achieve.
We are firmly committed to the elimination of any discrimination on the grounds of gender, race, religion, disability or social background.
We aim to work in close partnership with pupils, parents and the wider community to provide quality learning opportunities for all learners to investigate, challenge, appreciate and develop themselves, their society and their environment allowing each member of the school community to feel fulfilled and equipped to be confident individuals, successful learners, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
In greater detail, our aims should help each child acquire and develop the following:
-
knowledge, skills and understanding in literacy and communication, numeracy and mathematical thinking.
-
knowledge, understanding and appreciation of themselves, others and the world around them.
-
a knowledge of religion and its role in shaping society as well as developing moral and social values.
-
the capacity for independent thought through enquiry, problem solving, information handling and reasoning.
-
positive attitudes to healthy living and physical fitness.
-
positive attitudes to learning and personal fulfilment.
-
the capacity to make creative and practical use of a variety of media to express feelings.
-
building skills to enable lifelong learning.
It is also our aim within the school to foster a spirit of co-operation, sharing and understanding between school and the wider community within which the children live and may one day work.

Reporting to Parents
We aim to keep parents up to date with their child's progress throughout the year. We will host Parent Contacts in the Autumn and Spring term, invite you in for a Pupil Led Learning Review in the Winter term and issue written reports at the end of the Summer term. These end of year reports will recap on the progress your child has made throughout the year and tell you their current attainment levels for literacy and numeracy. Copies of these reports are kept by the school and are passed electronically to the appropriate secondary school or any other primary school, which the child might subsequently attend.
The broad expectations about progression through curriculum levels are:
-
Early Level in the pre-school years and P1
-
First Level to the end of P4
-
Second Level to the end of P7
-
Third and Fourth Level from S1 to S3 (fourth curriculum level broadly aligns to SCQF level 4)
Curriculum for Excellence
As we prepare our children for the future in our fast changing world and equip them for jobs that may not yet exist, Curriculum for Excellence has been introduced, in all schools across Scotland, for all learners aged 3 -18. It aims to achieve a transformation in education in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum. Under Curriculum for Excellence every child is entitled to a broad general education with opportunity to acquire depth of knowledge and develop skills for learning, life and work.
The purpose of Curriculum for Excellence is demonstrated through the Four Capacities; to enable each child or young person to be a successful learner, a confident individual, a responsible citizen and an effective contributor. It is underpinned by the values inscribed on the mace of the Scottish Parliament - wisdom, justice, compassion and integrity.
All staff have a responsibility to develop, reinforce and extend learning in Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing for all of our learners. Ultimately, we endeavour to improve and develop the relevant skills for life so that our children can become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
Sharing our learning
We are using Seesaw to share the children's learning with their parents. Each child and family have individual logins for the app/website and we aim to share at least two pieces of work a week. This might be shared as photographs of work or videos of the children talking about or demonstrating their learning.
