DofE Practice walk

On Tuesday 3rd may, 7 S3 pupils undertook the walk from Wanlockhead to Sanquhar. This was in preparation for their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award later in the year. On the way, they practiced their campcraft and navigational skills whilst experiencing what is like to carry a rucksack full of everything they will need to take with them on the expedition. A few eyes were opened as to the degree of effort required but all enjoyed the day in the hills.

Annual Generic School Questionnaire

We would be grateful if you could complete this annual generic school questionnaire for parents using the link below.  This allows us to consider our current practice and future improvements.  This questionnaire will take approximately 6 minutes to complete.
The closing date for submissions is Friday 13th May 2022 at 6.00pm.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
