With our senior pupils out on Study Leave you would think that things would be quieter in the school – this wasn’t the case during a busy May.
We welcomed the P7s to Bell Baxter for a day of “getting to know the school” activities; our S2 Business classes worked together to raise an incredible £784.90 as part of Mental Health Awareness Week, and we had a team win the Creative Spaces Challenge.
Well done to pupils and staff!
