Meet the Head

As the Head, I want to preserve the essence of childhood for as long as possible. This is an important stage of life,  that should be marked by boundless curiosity and imagination. At Airthrie we recognise the importance of safeguarding this precious time of discovery and learning, and we strive to provide an environment where children can flourish.

 

In a world where the pressures of adulthood often invade upon the innocence of youth, we endeavour to keep the magic of being a child, alive. We believe in allowing children the freedom to dream and imagine, qualities that are too often neglected in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our ethos at Airthrie is centered around nurturing these qualities in a warm homely and caring setting, where our dedicated staff are invested in understanding and meeting the needs of every child.

 

With small class sizes, we are able to provide personalised attention to each pupil, ensuring that no one is overlooked. This enables us to stretch every child to their fullest potential, supporting them as they embark on their individual journeys. We encourage our pupils to contribute to adventure, show courage, and explore the world around them whilst feeling safe.

 

We believe that every child deserves a childhood filled with moments of joy, laughter, and innocence. By creating this safe atmosphere, our pupils are happy. Happy pupils will then flourish academically and emotionally.

 

At Airthrie, we are dedicated to shaping our pupils to compassionate individuals who are equipped to make a positive impact on the world to the best of their ability. Every child is different and we need to celebrate that.
