Thirty of our History pupils spent the day visiting Stirling. A perfect day out to enhance our Scottish History topic. Our first stop was Stirling Castle, where we learned about life in the past and were given an excellent input from one of the castle guides on the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. After that we headed over to the Bannockburn Experience where we found out about Scotland’s most famous victory in battle. The pupils took part in an interactive battle game before heading off to the monument to Robert the Bruce.
A great day was had by all.

Purple Friday FEBRUARY 22nd 2019
We are working towards our LGBT Charter status and our aim this year is to achieve our Bronze Award. Pupils and staff have all been involved in leading this important aspect of our inclusion work.
I am delighted with the hard work and commitment of all in the school and the way in which this has been embraced.
On Friday 22nd February we will have a dress down day with the option of wearing an item of purple clothing. All proceeds will be donated to LGBT Youth Scotland.
Developing the Young workforce
A range of business partners have kindly given of their time to visit the school yesterday and today and talk with pupils about their careers.
Pupils have been involved in a range of employer activities which will all help to aid their subject choices and career pathways.
Well Done to Mr Lawson and all of the staff involved in leading these two employer engagement days.
