Welcome to Tweedmouth West first School
We hope our website will help you to find out more about our school, and give you a flavour of what makes it such a special place. Paper copies and translations are available on request.
Here at the West, we are an experienced and hard working staff, with a dedicated Governing body. Together, we ensure the best start in life for all of our children to flourish.
We aim to create an environment where everyone is valued, and feels safe and happy. This means children are ready to learn.
Our intent is to ensure that:
Our PUPILS:
- Can read, write and can work with numbers confidently and fluently
- Be resilient and responsible
- Have high standards of behaviour
- Appreciate diversity and respect differences
- Lead healthy and active lifestyles and understand the importance of doing so
- Leave us as confident, well-rounded individuals with ambition.
Our CURRICULUM:
- Ensures that the basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics are prioritised to give firm foundations for all learning
- Teaches the children appropriate skills, knowledge and vocabulary and ignites a love of learning
- Is relevant to the needs of our pupils and ensures clear links between the subjects they learn about
- Is inspiring and consistently taught to a high standard, leading to all pupils making excellent progress regardless of need, ability or background
- Provides a range of opportunities that prepare pupils for the next stage of their development and to enhance their cutural experience.
We look forward to working with you,
Jacqueline Dalrymple
