At Lathallan School, our curriculum reflects the active nature of our school, enabling learning both in and outside of the classroom and meeting our values, allowing deep learning to take place and full potential to be reached.

We believe in the five core values of Confidence, Opportunity, Respect, Endeavour and Modesty and instil these values throughout our school teaching and learning: 

• Confidence is gained through our varied programme of academic, sporting, creative and outdoor activities.
• Opportunity is offered through Duke of Edinburgh Award; Personal Development Afternoons; a wide extracurricular programme; pupils in the senior school can negotiate to do subjects, not in our core choices; support for learning is available throughout the school.
• Respect is developed through our family atmosphere and small class size staff and pupils know each other well.
• Endeavour is encouraged through recognition of achievement and success which inspires hard work and The Lathallan Award programme.
• Modesty is displayed by celebrating our individual achievements with humility and with a recognition to the input of others.

The Senior School runs a 45 period week from 8.30-17.00 Mon-Fri. There is wrap around care provided from 7.30am until 6.00pm. Evening activities are provided for Boarders.

We use The Scottish Curriculum for Excellence which provides a curricular guideline for schools in Scotland. Four ‘capacities’ were identified as a means to shape the curriculum, which would enable Scotland’s children to develop into well-rounded individuals, sure of their own skills and their place in society. If you would like further information on these guidelines and capacities, please visit their website on www.ltscotland.org.uk.
