Whole School Events
At Earlston Primary School, our whole school events play a vital role in bringing our values of Inspiration, Nurture, Creativity and Community to life. Across the year, we plan a rich calendar of shared experiences that give children meaningful purpose in their learning while providing exciting platforms to celebrate their skills and achievements.
Parents, carers and the wider community are warmly welcomed to many of these events, helping us recognise both the individual strengths of our learners and the collective successes that bring our school community together.
Following each event, we take feedback from pupils, staff and parents to help us identify and celebrate successes, as well as identifying further opportunities for enhancing the event for future years.
