It is with great pleasure that I extend a very warm welcome to Lenzie Meadow Primary School and Early Year’s Centre.
The School and Centre opened on 18th August 2016, bringing together pupils from Lenzie Moss Primary and Lenzie Primary. We are a non-denominational and co-educational provision with 20 Primary classes from P1 to P7 and a current roll of 547 pupils. Most stages are triple stream and this supports excellent opportunities to work collaboratively within and across stages.
Our school is situated in the centre of a residential area and our building is of the highest standard with state of the art technology including interactive promethean boards in every classroom, social and dining space for pupils, outdoor play areas including a full-size 3G astro grass pitch, a netball court, amphitheatre and allotment area. We are also situated next to ‘the Moss’ in Lenzie which is ideal for outdoor learning activities and walks.
We also benefit from an excellent 54/54 extended day/year Early Years’ Centre which includes 10 two years old places. Children from various pre-five establishments attend our school and well established links have been forged at both nursery and secondary allowing us to offer a highly effective transition programme. At the end of Primary 7 pupils transfer to the nearby secondary school, Lenzie Academy.
Our children speak highly of our school and cooperate well with staff and peers in order to be successful in their learning. Our learners are encouraged to be engaged and involved in all aspects of school life. They have a strong voice and are actively consulted about their views on day to day matters and any decisions which may affect them. Our learners are motivated by the leadership opportunities offered which include options to participate in the following pupil led groups; Learning Committee, Digital Leaders, House Captains and Vice Captains, Health Committee, Bookworms, Dyslexia Ambassadors, Cultural Ambassadors and Eco Committee.
As a school and Early Years’ team we pride ourselves in our commitment to meeting the needs of our children and we work tirelessly to support our children in becoming the very best versions of themselves possible. As a learning community we share the values of Respect, Kindness, Safety, Responsibility and Determination and we seek to represent these values in our day-to-day interactions in and beyond our school and Centre. Through strong relationships and partnership, we strive to meet the following aims;
Our school and Early Years’ Centre is supported by a very active Parent Council and PTA and both groups support the wider parent voice as well as organising fund raising events which not only provide children and families with lovely experiences, but also raise funds for the school and centre. We are extremely proud of the positive relationships we have with our families and we are strongly committed to partnership working.
Whilst our profile may be considered big, we pride ourselves in knowing our children and families on a personal level and consider our context ‘big but wee!’
It is my pleasure to serve as Leader of Lenzie Meadow Primary School and I hope that you find our website informative and reflective of our warm culture and ethos.
