Riverside Primary School is situated in the Riverside area of Stirling. There are currently 18 classes including 4 Gaelic Medium classes. There are also 4 Autism Provision classes and a Nursery Class within the School. The school is situated in Forrest Road within the Riverside area of Stirling. We strive to maintain high standards and to be welcoming to all parents and carers, prospective parents and to the children who form our community. At all times we seek to establish a compassionate, caring and fair environment within which all pupils are valued and are given the opportunity to develop a positive image of themselves. At the same time, our pupils are expected to be polite, kind, to work hard and develop a growing sense of self-discipline and responsibility for their own learning.
Our vision is of a school in the heart of its community in a culture of initiative and collegiality in which learning is always the prime focus, ensuring a rich, motivating learning experience for all. Our greatest contribution is to be sure that in every classroom there is a teacher who cares that every day each child learns, grows and develops to the best of their ability in an ethos of enrichment.
The school seeks to work in partnership with parents as a means of enhancing the educational opportunity available to the children. We have an excellent working relationship with our Parent Council body.
Our School Aims are to: (Gaelic translation: San sgoil seo tha sinn a feuchainn ri)
We want to transform an existing space into an 'Imagination Station' space where our students create, explore, develop and share their own ideas, demonstrating their critical thinking skills and even boosting self confidence. This will be a place for making, collaborating, learning and sharing through creativity, technology and learning.
We would like to be able to equip this space with resources in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) to provide hands on learning and help.
This is for our whole school, to use across a range of subjects. We will be utilising the expertise of our digital leaders in the school, a group of children who already support younger classes in the use of ICT to support learning across the curriculum. All children from nursery to P7 would have the opportunity to use the 'Imagination Station'. This space will inspire student to gather, to create, to invent and to learn. Preparing all children with the required critical 21st century skills.
We want the 'Imagination Station' to empower all children to want to create, through a fantastic and engaging experience where they are able to build, create, explain, draw and demonstrate their abilities in a format that fits them. We are trying to give as many children opportunities for future work and life opportunities. The digital world is around us and more jobs in this field are opening daily and therefore children must aspire to become the next generation of innovators, designers, entrepreneurs and digital leaders to have the best opportunities of success in the future.
