Class of 2026

What a fantastic day celebrating our incredible Class of 2026. We would like to wish all of our leavers every success as they begin the next chapter of their journey. We are so proud of how far you have come and excited to see all that you will go on to achieve in the future.

We also want to say a very happy holiday to all our young people, staff, partners, and families. We hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved rest and some relaxation. Best of luck to our seniors who will be spending the coming weeks preparing for their Qualifications Scotland exams.

We look forward to welcoming S1–S3 pupils and staff back to school on Monday 20th April.

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful term at KPSS, and once again, congratulations to the King’s Park Secondary Class of 2026!

King’s Trust Enterprise Challenge

On Friday 27th March we welcomed the King’s Trust to the Business & Computing faculty.

We had a group of 40 S1’s participating in the King’s Enterprise Challenge where groups of young people were introduced to the concept of entrepreneurship, practicing business-style pitches and culminating in the opportunity to compete in the Business Simulation game. There were lots of really interesting business ideas from our fantastic group of students and definitely some fierce competition during the Business Simulation game.

The winning team with a whopping 18,771 points were: Leah Gold (Skye), Katie Murray (Skye)  and Shauna Fulton (Arran). Well done girls!

We are eagerly waiting to hear if the girls will make it to the National Finals where they would compete for £1000 to bring their business idea to life!

Thank you to the King’s Trust for coming in and giving out young people such a wonderful experience.
