Howden St. Andrew’s Primary is a denominational school established in February 1970. It has a Nursery Class and stages P1-P7 with a current roll of 330, led by an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Senior Leadership team. The catchment area serves Howden, Craigshill, Ladywell, and Livingston Village. The shared vision, values, and aims ensure that a relationship-based approach and well-being are the priority for learners, families, and staff. Howden St. Andrew’s is currently situated in SIMD 2; therefore, the catchment includes some areas of high deprivation. Howden St. Andrew’s strives to build up the whole school community providing measures for excellence and equity.
Howden St. Andrew’s is part of the local community both educationally and socially. There are active and effective Parish-Community links through St. Andrew’s Parish Church in Craigshill. There are also strong links with St. Margaret’s Academy and the cluster primary schools. Howden St. Andrew’s has an active Parent Council and works closely with partner agencies to meet the needs of the whole school community.
