Our School

Carnoustie High School’s Vision represents the views of pupils, parents and staff, who work together ‘To create a safe environment where everyone is respected and included, with opportunities for all to achieve their personal best’.

Our school values run through the core of everything we do at Carnoustie High School: Respect, Responsibility, Resilience.

Learning is at the heart of all that we do and we provide a challenging school experience. The contributions of all members of our school community are valued and everyone is treated with dignity, kindness and respect.

We are an inclusive school and we reflect the diverse society of 21st Century Scotland demonstrating values that promote moral and ethical conduct across our school community. We foster the active participation that makes our young people self-confident, well-informed and independent-minded; prepared to be fully involved members of a democratic society.

Individuals are supported to develop the personal attributes and the interpersonal skills required to accept increasing responsibility for their actions and respect the rights of others. Our pupils are globally-aware and know that they have a responsibility to make choices and take actions that work towards a sustainable future at local, national and global level.

Our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all learners and, working with partners, we offer pathways that build on pupils’ enthusiasm and interest throughout the Broad General Education and Senior Phase of their school experience.

We work hard to inspire a lifelong passion for learning, encouraging ambition and excellence and we recognise and celebrate achievement in academic, sporting, cultural and community activities.

Resources are used to provide a school environment that is a safe and stimulating setting for a happy, well-motivated community that works effectively and successfully together.

Carnoustie High School currently hold the Silver Award for Rights and Respecting Schools from the UNCRC.
