Here at Stewart Fleming every child is encouraged to demonstrate the Personal Goals everyday whilst at school. The Personal Goals refer to the individual qualities and learning dispositions children will find essential to become life-long learners. It is the role of teaching staff at Stewart Fleming to help facilitate the development of these goals so that children reflect on them when learning. The development of the Personal Goals will support every child as they enter into an ever-changing world when they become adults.

The Personal Goals are reflected in the whole of the curriculum here at Stewart Fleming and in all other aspects of school life too. They include the following: empathy, resilience, principles, collaborator, thoughtfulness, cooperation, ethical and adaptability. Every class has a Personal Goals display to highlight its importance to the children.

Below are examples of the Personal Goals that children demonstrate every day whilst at Stewart Fleming Primary School.
