Announcement
With great sadness we announce the death of a past staff member, Mairi Mitchell. Mairi worked at Woodpark for over a decade as a teacher, Principal Teacher and Depute Head. She was much loved by all members of staff who were lucky enough to work with her. She was a remarkable woman and will be sorely missed. We send all of our love to Mairi’s family and friends at this very sad time.
