Our Vision & Values
At Heriot School we want staff and pupils to have high expectations of learning in order for everyone to realise their full potential. As a school community, we will ensure best use and appreciation of our unique outdoor learning environment. A sense of pride in ourselves and our school will be promoted through celebration. We will foster an inclusive and nurturing environment through encouraging kindness, equality, fairness and respect.
Challenges, resilience and growth mind set in all stakeholders will be encouraged and supported and a belief in lifelong learning will be instilled. We will celebrate differences and similarities to ensure that
everyone is valued and that our community continues to thrive. We aim to achieve this through fostering positive relationships with parents and the wider community.
