Welcome
On behalf of the Governors, Staff and Pupils, you are very welcome to St. MacNissi’s Primary School.
Our Vision
Our aim is to provide our pupils with a safe, inclusive and child-centred school community, where each child is nurtured to grow and develop on their spiritual, social, emotional and academic journey. We continue to provide our pupils with a happy, caring and stimulating learning environment where high-quality teaching and learning enables our pupils to become independent, resilient learners. Our pupils are encouraged to develop to their fullest potential and to contribute positively to the world in which they are living.
We hope that this website will provide you with all the information you need about our school. Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
