Our vision, values and aims

Our vision, values and aims


Shared vision:


Lochdonhead and Ulva Primary schools provide and active, safe, nurturing and caring environment in which all pupils achieve their full potential and have the confidence and skills to meet the challenges of the future. Our shared vision is underpinned by the Argyll & Bute Education Vision and Strategy Policy 'Our Children, Their Future'.  In consultation with the pupils, parents and staff, the vision and values were re-visited and agreed at both schools in May 2018.  The vision and aims are shared, but both schools identified different values as they were particularly tailored to the pupils in the school.  Parents were asked by questionnaire if they knew and understood the school's vision, values and aims and all parents responded positively.  We will continue to ask pupils if the values still reflect their experience.


Ulva values:

- Respectful


- Hardworking


Lochdonhead values:
