Clackmannan Primary School was opened in 1972 and is the only primary school in the village. Click this link for directions.
The school itself offers modern accommodation set in two distinct departments. P1 - P3 department has six classrooms housed in single storey accommodation with a large open/communal hall area. The P4 - P7 department is housed in a 3 storey building which currently has six classrooms in use, one computer suite, a music/art base and a recently refurbished library. The school is set on a level site with good play and grass areas and has recently established school gardens.
Clackmannan Primary School has a computer suite of 35 networked PCs which are all Internet ready. There is a self-contained "pod" of 10 networked PCs, again all Internet ready, located in the early years area. The school has undergone an extensive programme of networking. Every classroom and teaching area has been fitted with Interactive Whiteboards. Every child has a unique username and password which allows access to a range of resources on the school network, local intranet and world wide web.
The school is active in raising standards across the curriculum and uses a broad range of strategies and resources to ensure continued success. Well established Early Intervention programmes in language and mathematics operate successfully in P1 - P3 and these early gains are fostered and developed through the rest of the school. Co-operative learning strategies and Active learning opportunities are promoted throughout the school.
Established use of "Learning Logs" provides a fromat for involving pupils more in their own learning and setting targets for themselves as well as sharing learning experiences with parents.
The school has an active pupil council. They are responsible for making sure the feelings of their classmates are heard. They raise funds for improvements they would like to see in school and, for example, have already helped establish a school garden, bench seating for quiet areas in the playground and playground games. We also have a fully functioning Eco Committee and we have recently attained Green Flag status.
We are proud of the school ethos. We work hard to be a welcoming school which models good manners and promotes citizenship. We have a very successful positive discipline policy which provides pupils with the opportunity to help value rules. We offer rewards and awards to mark achievement in work and work ethics as well as good behaviour. All pupils have responsibilities increasing to the level where P7 pupils answer telephones, operate a buddy system and work in the library.
Clackmannan Primary School promotes hard work in a safe and happy learning environment with the hope that all pupils will be able to fulfil their true potential.
