Drummore Primary School in its own words
In its own words: "Our school v alues were established in 2017. The v alues were selected by s taff, pupil s and parent s through a combination of focus groups and voting . Pupils were then asked to create characters to represent the v alues."
From the headteacher's welcome: "Starting a new school is a big change. We want to offer our help and support every step of the way. In 2020 we made this tour, starring a wonderful former pupil, Isla. There have been a few changes since the video was made but it still gives a good flavour of what it's like inside."
