Head Teacher's Welcome

I am honoured to welcome you and your child to St Andrew’s Roman Catholic Primary School and ELC class.  At St Andrew’s we have a strong ethos where learning and faith shape all aspects of school life.  Although a Roman Catholic school, through our inclusive ethos we welcome children and families from all faith backgrounds ensuring everyone feels respected and valued. 

Our school promotes the Midlothian expectations of Ready, Respectful and Safe through building nurturing relationships with all our learners and their families.  We are proud to share we are a Silver Rights Respecting School and children’s rights underpin school life.  We hold high expectations of all learners and strive to ensure children reach their aspirations as individuals.

Our school is home to an Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) Class for 32 young learners, primary education for P1-7 children and a Complex Needs Provision.  Our St Andrew’s staff team is passionate and committed to the progress and achievement of all children and we very much regard the school community as our ‘St Andrew’s Family’.

We strive to build strong relationships with parents and carers and welcome your involvement in school life.  We look forward to working with you as your child progresses through our school.

Warmest regards,

Mrs Johanne Watson

Head Teacher
