Thank you

Many thanks to Sara Clegg and all her family and friends for the very kind donation to the school.

Sara, our Head Girl has recently celebrated her 18th birthday and decided that instead of gifts from family and friends, she wanted donations instead to be given to the school.

We were delighted to receive a cheque for £665 which will be used to buy branded sports wear for pupils taking part in sporting events, representing the school.

This was a very kind gesture fro Sarah and her family.
We hope you had a very happy birthday Sara.

Bugsy Malone

What a great performance from all the children who attend Stargaze Drama group.

Last night they performed “Bugsy Malone” at Queen Margaret Union, Glasgow and what a show it was…………..

I’m sure everyone will agree it was a wonderful performance and it’s all down to the hardwork from the pupils, staff who volunteer every Tuesday after school and Maria Antelmi who directed and produced the show.

Well done everyone!

Classes Mull and Iona have been looking after our butterfly kit and have invited all pupils in school to take part in this exciting project.

All classes will observe the lifecycle of our very own live butterflie and watch as the caterpillars grow, transform and emerge as beautiful butterflies before they are released in our school grounds.
