Our annual prizegiving ceremony was a wonderful celebration of the achievements, dedication and successes of our young people across the school community. It was a fitting opportunity to recognise not only outstanding academic attainment but also the commitment, resilience and positive contributions that our pupils demonstrate every day. With staff, families and friends in attendance, the event reflected the pride we share in our learners and the strong sense of community that underpins all that we do.

He will begin working towards his President Badge next session, the second highest award in the BBs.
So proud of our Saltire Award pupils pictured here, part of over 70 young people who have volunteered more than 1,000 hours this year. Their commitment has made a real difference to the school community. Not everyone could make the photo today, but we’re proud of every single one of them.
Today they completed their prefect training and are ready to take on their new leadership roles with confidence, kindness and pride.
They showed fantastic teamwork, communication and commitment throughout the programme — we can’t wait to see the positive impact they’ll make across the school 🌟
Pupils who attend Problem Solving Club recently took part in the UK Maths Trust Intermediate Maths Challenge, a national competition testing problem solving skills. We are very impressed with these results, especially from our S1/2 pupils as this competition level is aimed at S3-4. All worked very hard, taking away past papers to practise in their own time, and showed a lot of resilience with this year’s fairly tough set of questions.
Starred pupils, plus Nicole E (not pictured) earned a Gold Certificate and such a high score that they receive an invite to the next round of this competition – an accolade enjoyed by only a small percentage of entrants. We wish them all the best as they prepare for this next round.
