Junior School
A unique approach
Our approach revolves around our fundamental belief that intelligence isn’t fixed. So, we’ve created an environment where children can work together to improve as young people. From the moment pupils begin their early years education, we want to instil values, and create an opportunity for pupils to follow their passions while developing all the social and cognitive skills they need.
Our teachers spend a significant portion of their time on personal development and all share a similar growth mindset. One of our values is that we invite challenge from pupils. If teachers make sure children have the opportunity for a wide variety of experiences to build upon, there’s much more they can learn, because our brains are built to connect new learning to existing knowledge.
Our philosophy
Teaching & Learning
Our teaching and learning approach focuses on developing a love for learning through a blend of academic rigour and creative exploration. Our teachers emphasise individualised learning, ensuring that each child’s unique needs are met while our general philosophy is designed to develop critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Our job, as educators, is to inspire the children, to bring wonder and intrigue into every lesson.
Beyond the Classroom
Education in its broadest sense is not just about academic achievement, so we offer a wide range of co-curricular activities designed to develop creative, social, cognitive and physical skills.
Wrap Around Care
We understand how difficult it can be for parents to balance work and home commitments, so at Kelvinside Academy we offer early drop off to Breakfast Club as well as a flexible After School Care facility.
