Class Teacher

John Scurr is an excellent school, where every student is cherished and treated as an individual. This is a school where young people's abilities and skills are encouraged and where they can grow. Our aim is that all students should leave the school as highly confident and articulate young people.

At the school we believe that outstanding teaching and learning is underpinned by a key core value and commitment to equality and diversity. Equal access of opportunity is a priority at John Scurr Primary School. This is ensuring that all members of our community have an extremely heartening and supportive experience throughout their time at John Scurr so that they can flourish.
