Head Teacher's Welcome
Head Teacher, Fiona Robertson
Welcome to the Perth Grammar School website which has been designed to provide you with the information you need. The purpose is to offer a flavour of what you can expect of our inclusive learning community whether you are a regular visitor accessing our parent bulletin, a prospective learner or considering coming to work with us then I hope that you find it helpful and of interest.
At Perth Grammar, through our core values of ‘Pride, Respect, Ambition’ we aim to encourage and support our young people to flourish as young global citizens with the skills, knowledge, values and attitudes that will enable them to adapt and thrive in life, learning and work. This is in the context of our overarching vision of becoming an outstanding learning community with the highest expectation of and aspirations for all learners. Our motto is With Pride, We Respect, With Ambition, We Strive.
Everything we do is geared towards this aim – our ethos, our curriculum, the opportunities we offer for qualifications and other achievements, the types of learning approaches we encourage, the activities we offer out of school and beyond the normal school day and the changes we make to the buildings and grounds. We offer a very wide range of opportunities to succeed in qualifications within the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) and build up a portfolio of other achievements.
Ultimately our children and young people say that it is the staff team and the relationships that they develop that are the unique selling point to our school. We also have a number of strong working partnerships supporting us including a strategic agreement with Robertson Group.
We are a committed Rights Respecting School holding silver award status and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability that incorporates our link to The Vine Trust in Tanzania. Perth Grammar has excellent sports facilities including a stadium and running track and our games hall has a climbing wall.
The success of our school is built on the engagement and collaboration of pupils, parents, staff and the wider community. With your help, we know that we are well-placed to offer our young people opportunities to realise their ambitions whilst also encouraging them to give something back. We are recognised as an improving school and have received plaudits for our progress locally and nationally. Committed to our Perth Grammar School 5 (PGS5) features of high quality learning and teaching (effective communication, clear expectations, positive relationships, accessible learning, everyone engaged) we look forward to continuing this trajectory.
