On behalf of the staff and Governors, welcome to Pentland Primary School, which is part of the One Excellence Academy Trust.
Our Local Advisory Board (LAB) of Governors is made up of staff, community and parent governors, each with their own experience and expertise. Each of us is fully committed to supporting the school and ensuring the best outcomes for the children in its care.
As a Governing Body we are responsible for providing support to the excellent staff and leadership of the school, and for monitoring how effective it is, and how the budget is managed.
Pentland Primary School offers a broad and balanced curriculum for learning, which is aimed at developing the whole child and encouraging the citizens of the future. It is designed to be supportive and inclusive so that every child can make progress, and it also offers many opportunities for enrichment activities. Being part of an Academy Trust enables our school to access support from our partner schools, and to share our strengths with them.
We recognise that the best outcomes for children are achieved when there is a strong partnership between home and school. Effective and respectful communication between all parties is essential if children are to be happy and achieve their full potential. Staff and Governors aim to be approachable and to welcome the views of parents and pupils so that together we establish an ethos of trust and cooperation throughout our school community.
