A very warm welcome to our website.  
 
Our values of confidence, excellence and kindness are at the heart of West Coats Primary School. Children learn in an inclusive community, where success and achievement is celebrated today and the foundations of becoming life long learners are built for the future.  

West Coats Primary School is a vibrant community of pupils, parents and partners who work together, striving to ensure it is the very best place to learn. The website will keep you up to date with school activities, news and provide additional information about our classes and curriculum. I hope it gives you a flavour of the life and ethos of West Coats Primary School and that you enjoy browsing and finding out more about our school.

In West Coats, we strive to provide a range of rich learning experiences which develop the whole child. We recognise the value and importance of pupil leadership and participation, and seek to ensure we have robust and effective systems and provisions in place to ensure that all children reach their full potential both inside and outside of the classroom and curricular subjects.
Wider Achievement Position Statement 2023-24

 
The wearing of a school uniform helps promote the identity of the school in the local community and helps create an ethos of sharing and pride in the school.

  • Light blue polo shirt
  • Light blue shirt with school tie 
  • Royal blue jumper or cardigan
  • Grey skirt, pinafore, shorts or trousers

We have four Houses within West Coats, and all children and staff belong to a house. Our Houses are:
Douglas, Stewarton, BuchananCadzow
Our house system provides an opportunity to develop communities within the school which spans across the stages. It also enables us to educate about democracy in a real context, by holding elections for our P6 Vice Captians and P7 House Captains. Pupils work together to earn points for their house which is recorded on our scoreboard. A point can be earned by going over and above and working hard to demonstrate our values of kindness, confidence and excellence. At the end of each term, the house with the most points celebrates with a ‘House Treat’ run by Miss Brownlie.

This year our P7 House Captains and P6 Vice Captains are:                  


Douglas: Captains - Millie, Orla & Lewis. Vice - Ariana, Ria & Bruce.

Stewarton: Captains - Sophie Mae, Callum & Harry.Vice - Blair & Aria

Buchanan: Captains - Eva, Christopher & Arran. Vice - Gabriella, Elsie & Zac

Cadzow: Captains - Heidi, Rowan & Logan. Vice - Belle, Zachary & Nina
