The proposal to create a Busby Primary School tartan was developed in order to create a sense of identity as a Scottish primary school in our local East Renfrewshire community. The idea is being supported by Kinloch Anderson who have offered to register one of the tartans designed by our pupils. This provides an exciting opportunity for Busby Primary School to lead the way in a unique initiative that has never been done before.
In order to progress this initiative we feel that it is vital to consult parents to provide a sense of ownership with regards to the final decision being made. The children and staff members were also consulted in this decision. The pupils carried out their own market research with the parents of Busby Primary school.
Through a Masterclass, tartan designs have been submitted by children in the second level of the school which provides ownership of the initiative and ensures that children are involved at all stages of the process. The final decision on the design of the busby tartan is yet to be made by our guest judges.
