Headteacher's Welcome Message

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the website of Rattray Primary School. Some of you may already be familiar with our school, others we welcome for the first time. 

The basic aim of Rattray Primary School is to provide the best education possible for all our pupils. We are very proud of our school and the warm, positive ethos it provides. Learning is at the heart of everything we do.  We understand the importance of creating an environment which is secure, trusting, productive and happy, where our pupils can achieve their potential through learning experiences that are enjoyable and purposeful, and which take account of an individual’s needs and interests. At Rattray, we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which enhances the all-round development of our pupils. We also recognise the importance of developing the qualities and skills necessary for children to cope and indeed thrive in an ever-changing world.

Rattray is a very special school with a real family feel about it.  You notice our school vision 'together we all can'.  This was developed with parents and pupils and emphasises our focus on working in partnership with parents/carers and our local community. At Rattray we strive to promote and develop our core values which are Learning, Included, Nurtured and Kind.  If you notice, the first letter of these values spell out LINK.  We work hard to help  children make links across their learning and to make sure that we, as a school link with our parent groups, our partner services and our fantastic community.

Cricket Opportunities

We would absolutely love to see some of your children attending a local cricket club this year! Eastern Perthshire is so fortunate to have three brilliant clubs with smashing junior sections, which your children will be welcome to go along to! Here are some details:

Meigle CC - Meigle Cricket Club are the most successful club in Perth & Kinross, and are currently the only club in P&K in the top division in Scotland! Their junior nights are on Wednesdays, from 6pm.

Blairgowrie CC - Blairgowrie Cricket Club are the newest club in Perth & Kinross, having only started up again a couple of months ago! They play at the JJ Coupar, on Friday nights, 6pm-7pm.

Rossie Priory CC - Rossie Priory Cricket Club are the second oldest club in the country! They have a booming junior section, and a beautiful ground out near Inchture! Their junior nights are Mondays, from 6pm.

Posters for all three clubs are attached. I should also mention that all three clubs are always looking for wonderful adults to get involved as well, be that in a playing capacity, coaching, or even just helping out behind the scenes!
