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.
We are looking forward to our Senior Phase Awards Ceremony. This is taking place in King’s Park Parish Church on Tuesday 31st March with a 4pm start.

Welcome to another week of exciting activities and community engagement!
This week, we continued our fantastic boxing program at Southside Boxing Academy & Community Hub. This incredible local facility is dedicated to empowering young people through sport, fitness, and personal development. Beyond teaching boxing skills, they foster confidence, discipline, and resilience in a supportive environment. We’re grateful for their commitment to our students’ physical and mental well-being!
This week we also marked and celebrated Neurodiversity Week. Our school hosted a Coffee Morning where staff and students came together to learn more about neurodiversity and the importance of creating inclusive spaces for everyone.
Our coffee morning was a wonderful opportunity for our community to connect, share conversations, and reflect on how we can continue building a more inclusive and accepting school for all.
Finally, a huge shout-out to our wonderful students who took on a challenge this week to make a positive impact! A couple of our young people headed out into our school grounds and local area to litter pick and remove rubbish, showing real environmental responsibility and care for the spaces we share.
Keep an eye out for more updates and happy first day of Spring!
