Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Kinghorn Primary and Nursery School. It is a pleasure to welcome you and your child to our school community and to introduce this handbook.
At Kinghorn, we aim to provide all children with a happy, safe, and nurturing environment where they feel valued and where their individual contributions are recognised and celebrated. Our school vision, “Sailing to Success,” reflects our belief that every child is on their own learning journey and, with the right care, guidance, and encouragement, can achieve success.
Our work is underpinned by a strong set of shared values. We strive to be Kind, Inclusive, Nurturing, Generous, Honest, Open, Respectful, and to Never Give Up. These values guide our relationships, our learning, and the way we support children to enjoy learning and playing together, while understanding, respecting, and valuing one another and the wider community.
We are proud to be a Gold Rights Respecting School, with children’s rights at the centre of all that we do. By embedding the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into everyday school life, we ensure that our children feel safe, listened to, and respected, while also learning about responsibility, fairness, and mutual respect.
It is our aim that Kinghorn Primary and Nursery School is an important and happy place where every child experiences success — academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. Achieving this relies on strong partnerships between home and school. When children see that parents, carers, and staff are working together, they feel secure and confident to achieve their very best. We value and encourage parental involvement and recognise the important role families play in supporting learning.
If you are new to Kinghorn and have not yet visited the school, we would warmly encourage you to contact us to arrange a visit. We would be delighted to show you and your child around and to answer any questions you may have.
We look forward to building a positive and supportive relationship with you and, in partnership, ensuring that your child’s experience at Kinghorn Primary and Nursery School is one of enjoyment, achievement, and success.
Your in partnership,
Scott Wilson
Headteacher
