Cardenden Primary School

At Cardenden Primary School we are proud to have strong links with Auchterderran Parish Church.  The church community welcome and encourage these links through regular communication and support for our pupils, staff and parents. Minister Donald Lawrie has been visiting the school once a week and spending time in classes across the school. He helps children with their learning and spends time getting to know the children in the school. The children now welcome him as a member of our school community and look forward to his visits each week. 

As well as this, we often welcome Donald and members of the church to our assemblies and important events, either to speak or as a member of the audience. We also enjoy the opportunities we have to visit the church as a whole school. 

As a result of the school’s relationship with the church, our pupils have a better understanding of the role the church plays in the wider community as well as the support and guidance available to them and their families. The relationship we have with the church is continuing to develop and we look forward to strengthening these links in the future.
