At Eastertoun Primary our vision is to promote a whole school working ethos to ensure pupils are given the chance to flourish, learn, achieve and develop in a safe and nurturing environment. We work together to ensure that our children are given the best opportunity to develop their full potential. This work is underpinned by our school Charter of ‘Safe, Ready and Respectful’ and by our core values which are shared with the school community through our Value Bears representing kindness, focus, resilience and teamwork.
