This event was a great success. Our thanks to: MSPs Jackson Carlaw for hosting this event and to Jackie Baillie for her support; to the Deputy First Minister John Swinney for his powerful address and for distributing the awards virtually to the five schools; to special guest speaker Robert Rinder for his inspiring contribution which began with recognising the amazing work and commitment of the five new Vision Schools, referring to them as ‘agents of courage’ and ended by responding to pupils’ questions. Thanks also to Lord Pickles, and Cat Kirkland from the Holocaust Educational Trust for their additional contributions.

In addition to the >130 people who attended the live event, this event was recorded and its link is being tweeted and retweeted. The event has, and is continuing to generate an excitement amongst schools, something that we all desperately need at this difficult time. Schools have been tweeting about reasons to be proud of their school and congratulating each other.
