Balgreen Primary School

School

Balgreen is a non-denominational primary school which takes boys and girls from Primary 1 through to Primary 7. Our catchment draws families from diverse demographic backgrounds providing a vibrant and unique ethos of which we are proud.,,At Balgreen Primary School we are committed to providing a nurturing, stimulating and inclusive environment where children are encouraged to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to approach life and learning with confidence. Through reflective practice and self-improvement we strive to empower all to be active, responsible citizens.,,Our rich community environment of The Water of Leith and Saughton Park & Gardens support children's learning across the curriculum and we have strong links with local Chaplains from Gorgie Parish Church, Saughtonhall Church and the Salvation Army. ,,We work closely with partners from health services, charities and private companies to support children and families and improve the school environment.,,The school is fortunate to be one of ten schools across the city to benefit from Place2Be. The Place2Be is a ground-breaking initiative that helps children deal with the kind of difficulties they experience during their school years. These range from the everyday problems with friends, family or school, to more serious difficulties such as divorce, bullying, low self-esteem, loss or bereavement.,,Balgreen is associated with Tynecastle High School, where the majority of our pupils transfer at the end of Primary 7. ,,,The Head Teacher of the school has had connections with Malawi since 2000, both in terms of school partnerships and Scottish Government funded Leadership projects.,
