It was wonderful catching up with all of our returning children.  They were all looking so smart and keen to start the day.  Welcome also to all of our Primary One pupils, who started today.  A further welcome goes out to our new pupils who joined other classes from different parts of the world. We look forward to getting to know all of our new pupils who are now part of our Loanhead family.
