About us

Torridon is an inclusive school.  We are committed to doing the very best that we can to make sure that every child succeeds. We have a shared responsibility to ensure that we are doing the very best for our children and aim to meet the individual needs of each child wherever possible.

At Torridon we aim to engender a passion for learning and the pursuit of excellence in every aspect of our work.  We have the highest expectations for ourselves and all of our pupils, aiming for standards that exceed national expectations, both in the core subjects and across the wider curriculum.

We want every child to leave Torridon wanting and determined to make a difference to the world, and having the skills to do so.  In order to do this, we believe that we have to enable the children to be emotionally intelligent, resilient and brave, and provide them with the academic foundation to enable them to be outstanding individuals in all aspects of their lives.

We want our children to:

  • Be eager and enthusiastic learners
  • Be confident in themselves as learners
  • Understand themselves as learners, being proud of their successes and understanding the next steps in their learning
  • Be emotionally intelligent
  • Be resilient and determined to succeed
  • Be responsible for their actions

We aim to achieve this by:

  • Ensuring that children’s achievement is at the heart of our school
  • Valuing and celebrating children’s social and cultural diversity
  • Maintaining the highest possible expectations of every child
  • Striving to ensure that every child succeeds
  • Adopting a ‘no excuses’ attitude towards children’s progress and attainment
  • Providing opportunities for our children to develop academically, socially, morally, emotionally and spiritually in a safe and caring environment
  • Working closely with parents and carers to ensure that we are providing the best possible education for our children
