Dear parents, carers, and visitors,
Welcome to Spittal Primary School and Nursery Class's website, I hope you find it helpful and insightful. I am proud to be Head Teacher of Spittal PS. We are a warm, nurturing, kind and caring school where everyone can reach their full potential. The staff are committed to getting it right for every child and we put children and young people at the heart of everything we do. We value our relationships with them, and it is vital that children feel happy, safe and included.
Spittal Primary School and Nursery Class is situated in Rutherglen, within South Lanarkshire Council in Scotland. The school building has seven classrooms, a gym hall, dining hall and several break-out areas to enhance learning and teaching, alongside our playground, school garden and a pitch. Our nursery class is housed within the main building and consists of a playroom and their very own nursery garden.
Thank you for visiting our school website. We primarily communicate via the School App which shows the school, pupils and staff happy at work. We enjoy working together and in partnership with parents and carers to ensure all our children are safe, happy and thriving. Should you have any questions, worries, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school where we look forward to speaking with you. You can contact our school office on 0141 634 5861 or office@spittal-pri.s-lanark.sch.uk Please also follow us on Twitter @spittalprimary.
