Family and school staff turned out for a socially distanced gathering.\u00a0 We all shared wonderful memories of our school year together and praised the boys for their many skills and talents.\u00a0 They have both made the last year such a pleasure for us all. It was a bitter sweet day as we are sad to see them go, but we know they are more than ready for their next big adventure.<\/p>\n<p>There were more goodbyes to say to others. We said farewell to Annabelle as she moves away with her big brother,Findlay, to start at a new school after the holidays. Our best wishes went\u00a0 also to Mrs McColm and Mrs MacPherson who will be based at other schools after our return in August.\u00a0 We thank them both for their hard work and dedication and we will certainly miss their cheery smiles.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Henry warranted a special mention too as she has been so dedicated, working away in school during closure for pupils.\u00a0 She has been busy organising, tidying and keeping the home fires burning so that we are ready to go in August.\u00a0 Thank you Mrs Henry.<\/p>\n<p>Goodbye and Good Luck to all our leavers.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1'
