At Balgowan, we don’t just educate - we inspire, support, and empower our children to be their very best.

At Balgowan, we are proud to uphold high expectations and nurture a school ethos that celebrates and promotes the best of traditional values. While achieving excellence in literacy and numeracy remains a key priority, we also emphasise the importance of building well-rounded individuals through our guiding principles: Work hard, be kind, and make friends. These simple yet powerful values form the foundation of our approach to developing the whole child.

love of learning by providing a values-driven curriculum that fosters a vibrant, inclusive and joyful environment where every child can thrive. While we honour our rich traditions and history, we are also forward-thinking and deeply ambitious for every child who walks through our doors, equipping them to navigate and succeed in an ever-changing world.

Taking a “voyage” on Balgowan’s ship of values helps our children become tolerant, resilient and driven, with a positive mindset that enables them to set bold goals and imagine bright futures. We aim to prepare them not just for the challenges of today but to thrive as confident, capable citizens of the 21st century.

Our school motto - Be kind, work hard, make friends - is at the heart of everything we do. It reflects our commitment to creating a supportive, secure and inspiring environment where children feel valued, safe and ready to learn. This atmosphere is made possible by our passionate and dedicated staff, who are committed to providing an exceptional education and ensuring every child feels seen, heard and empowered.

We also recognise the essential role parents play in the learning journey. At Balgowan, we work closely with families, fostering a strong partnership that helps children grow into confident, independent learners. From their early years at Key Stage 1 to their transition to Key Stage 3 and beyond, we ensure every child is fully prepared and equipped to face future challenges with confidence and curiosity.
