We are absolutely delighted to announce that Riverbrae School has a Pearson Teaching Awards Finalist!

These awards are the ‘Oscars’ of the teaching profession.  Our very own Calum Coutts has made it to the finals in the category of Digital Innovator of the Year.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that he wins, although he is already our winner!  Good Luck Calum @TeachingAwards
