At Kintore Primary School, community is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that strong partnerships between school, families, and the wider community create the best opportunities for our learners. Through regular events, shared projects, and local involvement, children are encouraged to take pride in their community and understand the importance of working together. We value the contributions of parents, carers, and local organisations, recognising that learning extends beyond the classroom. By fostering a sense of belonging and responsibility, we help pupils develop respect, empathy, and confidence, preparing them to be active, caring members of society.
At Kintore Primary School, kindness is a core value that shapes the way we learn, play, and grow together. We believe that showing kindness creates a safe, welcoming, and happy environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Pupils are encouraged to look after one another, celebrate differences, and offer support whenever it is needed. Through everyday interactions, class discussions, and whole-school initiatives, we highlight the importance of caring words and actions. By modelling kindness in all we do, we help children understand the positive impact they can have on others and the importance of compassion in building strong relationships.
At Kintore Primary School, respect is central to how we learn and work together. We encourage pupils to treat others the way they would like to be treated, showing consideration for different opinions, beliefs, and experiences. Respect extends to our classrooms, playground, and wider community, helping everyone to feel valued and included. Through daily routines, school values, and positive role modelling, children learn to appreciate diversity, listen to others, and take responsibility for their actions. By fostering respect, we build a culture where every voice matters and where pupils develop the skills to become thoughtful, responsible citizens.
Wellbeing is a key priority at Kintore Primary School, supporting both learning and personal growth. We aim to nurture happy, healthy, and confident children by promoting positive mental, emotional, and physical health. Pupils are encouraged to share their feelings, build resilience, and develop strategies to care for themselves and others. We create safe, supportive spaces where children feel listened to and included, and we celebrate achievements to build self-esteem. By working closely with families and the wider community, we ensure pupils have the tools and support they need to thrive both in school and beyond.
At Kintore Primary School, we value wonder as the spark that drives curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning. We encourage pupils to ask questions, explore new ideas, and discover the world around them with excitement and imagination. Through engaging lessons, outdoor learning, and hands-on experiences, children are given opportunities to investigate, experiment, and think deeply. By nurturing a sense of awe and curiosity, we inspire pupils to see possibilities, embrace challenges, and develop a lifelong passion for learning. Wonder helps our learners grow into imaginative, open-minded individuals who are eager to make sense of the world.
