SCHOOL INFORMATION

A message from the Head Teacher

Dear Parent/Carer

Welcome to Seaview Primary School. We are delighted to have your child join us and look

forward to working in partnership with you.

Whether your child is starting in Nursery or school for the first time or an older child

changing schools, a new school can be a daunting experience for both children and

parents. However, please be assured that we are here to help make this transition as

smooth as possible.

Seaview Primary School was opened on 22 June 2010 and is a beautiful facility. The

classrooms are set in open-plan areas with P1-3, P4-5 and P6-7 each having discrete

areas, set around a shared activity area. We also have a dedicated Nursery class which

can cater for 40 morning children and 40 afternoon children. Each classroom has the

benefit of an interactive whiteboard and numerous other high quality learning and

teaching resources.

We are extremely lucky to have fantastic facilities and benefit from a dedicated library,

games/dining hall, general purpose room, music room, community lounge and spacious

playground including a large grass area with plenty of equipment to keep the children

active during break.

We offer many extra-curricular activities both at lunchtime and after school and children

benefit from taking part in community festivals, competitions and sporting events along

with other schools.

We have a very active and supportive Parent Council and encourage all families to

become actively involved in the life of the school. We are grateful of all support offered

and look to utilise all parental knowledge and skill on offer – please do not be shy!

Should you require further information or if you have any queries regarding your child’s

education or school-life in general, please contact the school office on 01382 768124 and

make an appointment to see your child’s class teacher or any member of the

management team.

Finally, on behalf of the whole Seaview School Community I hope this first reading of the

school handbook will be the first of many positive links to be forged with you over the

coming years.

VISITS OF PROSPECTIVE PARENTS – see link below:

http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2010/11/10093528/0

Once your child has been allocated a place you will be invited along to meet the staff

and children, to find out more about the curriculum and to share information about your

child. We would also be able to talk to you about our after-school clubs and the

opportunities and experiences we offer our pupils.

SCHOOL UNIFORM

In order to maintain a feeling of belonging and pride in the school we encourage pupils to

wear the Seaview School uniform. All items of uniform are available from the School

Uniform Shop, 21 Commercial Street, Dundee or via Tesco’s F+F online store.

As you can see from this

photograph, pupils can wear a

grey jumper with a white shirt

and Seaview tie, a blue

Seaview sweatshirt and plain

white polo shirt with grey or

black trousers or skirt. From

Primary 7 pupils may choose to

wear a black jumper or

cardigan with white shirt and

tie. Girls may wear school

pinafores or may like to wear a

checked blue and white

school dress in summer. For PE

pupils should wear plain black

shorts and a white T shirt or

polo shirt. Gym shoes are

required for use in the hall. Children should also have a sweatshirt, jogging bottoms and

outdoor trainers for outdoor PE.

Please note that children should not wear jewellery to school. The exception to this is stud

earrings for pierced ears. If pupils do wear stud earrings then they need to be able to

remove them by themselves prior to gym lessons or have them taped over before the

lesson begins.

Please remember to put your child’s name on any item of clothing brought to school.

PARENTAL CONCERNS

Please contact the school immediately if you have a cause for concern. It is our wish to

deal with all matters as early as possible preventing them from growing into significant

concerns. Please contact your child’s class teacher in the first instance or if you would

prefer to discuss the issue with a member of the management team please contact the

school office to arrange an appointment.

We will listen to your concern and agree a way forward with you. We will then maintain

contact with you via e-mail, telephone or a follow-up meeting to ensure all matters have

been resolved satisfactorily. THE COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE –

While we would hope that any issues raised can be sorted out in discussions with school,

there is a formal Angus Council complaints procedure that parents can follow if they feel

that their concerns have not been satisfactorily resolved. This can be accessed on line at

https://www.angus.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/complaints_and_comments/making

_a_complaint_or_comment_about_our_services

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

and promoting better school ethos and communication.

SCHOOL ETHOS

In our school we are committed to providing appropriate opportunities for the

development of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural values through both the ethos

and the curriculum. This will be undertaken in partnership with parents and will take

account of the individual needs of pupils and the views of parents.

Our school welcomes and encourages diversity and individuality, while emphasizing our

common commitment to moral values such as honesty, respect for others, compassion

and justice. It is a fundamental principle of our school that all who are involved in the life

of our school both has the right to be respected as individuals and carry the responsibility

to act in a considerate and respectful manner towards others. We implement the Council

policy for Equal Opportunities and Racial equality and ensure that all pupils have access

to the full range of educational experiences available within the resources of the school.

We are firmly committed to the elimination of any form of discrimination on the grounds of

race, religion, gender or disability.

SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY LINKS

Seaview School is an integral part of the community of Monifieth. Children develop skills

and learn to be better citizens as they engage with and support the work of the local

community. Our pupils participate in community events and competitions organized by

the churches, Inner Wheel and Rotary Club. We have weekly visits to Tigh-Na-Muirn

residential home and our choir regular participate in cultural events.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT

https://www.angus.gov.uk/schools_and_young_people/parent_and_pupil_guidance/anti

_bullying_policy

Good behaviour is essential to good learning. The general aim of the school is to provide

an atmosphere of mutual respect and collective responsibility. Pupils, parents and staff all

have an important part to play in producing and sustaining this positive ethos. The rules of

the school are of a common sense nature, bearing in mind the interest and safety of all

concerned.

In Seaview all members of our school community are encouraged to follow 6 Golden

Rules:

• We are gentle, we don’t hurt others

• We are kind and helpful, we don’t hurt anybody’s feelings

• We listen, we don’t interrupt

• We are honest, we don’t cover up the truth

• We work hard, we don’t waste our own or others’ time

• We look after property, we don’t waste or damage things

CELEBRATING ACHIEVEMENT

Our children’s achievements in school, at home or in the community are shared and

celebrated readily at assembly with a Seaview Shout Out, recorded on wall displays, in

jotters, on the school Twitter feed and in personal learning logs. Further communication

with parents is done in a range of ways including: Home/School Books, Class Dojo App,

Home/School Diaries, Parent/Teacher Interviews and meetings.

Seaview prides itself on the range of extra-curricular clubs which are held on a weekly

basis e.g. School Choir, S.T.E.M., Code Club, Cross-Country, Football, Netball (all a mix of

competitive and non-competitive). We have developed close links with local sports clubs

e.g. Grange Golf Club and Forthill Cricket Club.

PUPIL COUNCIL

Representatives of our Primary 7 pupils wanted to tell you about how the ‘pupil voice’ is

heard in Seaview.

Seaview Pupil Reading Council

The Pupil Reading Council meets

regularly to discuss how to motivate

learners through reading here at

Seaview. The Pupil Reading Council

works very hard to organise a

Reading Week every year and

celebrate World Book Day. We are

also proud of our Gold Reading

School Accreditation. The council

considers the reading resources we

have in our school, with the overall

aim being to encourage all pupils in

Seaview to be motivated and

independent readers. There is a

busy timetable for the Pupil Reading

Council to follow this year, and all

members are enthusiastic and excited about upcoming events and activities.

Here are pictures of children working in our lovely

school library.

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Your child will learn in a variety of different contexts and groups including ability, co-

operative and social. Throughout their time in Seaview pupils will have the opportunity to

discuss with their teacher the context in which they learn and how they will approach the

learning. Staff will discuss new learning with the children at the beginning of a new topic

and plan together the areas of specific focus e.g. World War 2 – The Home Front. As part

of this process the pupils will talk about what they already know, what they would like to

know and how they would like to present their learning.

The children who attend the nursery experience a range of activities both indoors and

outdoors.

In our school we value children as

unique individuals. We believe that

children have the right to be

listened to and we encourage

them to be active participants in

their learning. In Seaview Nursery

we use the Pedagogical

Documentation approach to

supporting the delivery of the

Curriculum for Excellence. This is a

creative approach which meets

the needs and interests of all

children through focused learning

activities. It allows the educators in

the early years to get to know the

children better and provide more

meaningful experiences for pupils.

These are photographs of some of the learning experiences on offer to the children in our

setting.

Music is every

2nd Thursday

so no gaps in

our learning.

There is loads

THE CURRICULUM AT SCHOOL, LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL

Curriculum for Excellence (sometimes called CfE) is how the curriculum in Scotland is

known and it applies to all children and young people from the age of 3 to 18 wherever

they are learning. The curriculum aims to raise achievement for all, enabling young people

to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to succeed in learning.

The 8 Curricular areas we cover in school are shown in the diagram.

‘What is it we want for our children?’  

In Seaview,  we want our children to be treated fairly, to be happy and enjoy learning. We

want our pupils to feel valued, confident and included in all aspects of learning and

where everyone will achieve success through effort, commitment and resilience.  

 

‘What are we going to do to achieve it?’ 

To achieve this,  we will provide our pupils with relevant, meaningful and rich learning

opportunities. We will celebrate their achievements and successes, engage with parents

and the wider school community and continually enhance our knowledge and skills

through career-long learning.  

Our shared values are:

Excellence Happiness Fairness Teamwork

Our shared aims are:

We work together to be the best we can be!

professional development of staff, reciprocal understanding and the establishment of

curricular consistency.
