• There have been a few concerns reported about the carpark this week including: Cars cutting across the carpark to park in disabled bays instead of following the signs for the one way system; cars parking in the accessible parking bays without a badge, meaning there are no spaces left for those who require the bays; stopping at the entrance to pick up children. We would request if you are choosing to use the car park, that you please use it safely and are considerate of others.

• Bluebell and Bramble clans had a Calderwood first this week as the visited Edinburgh Playhouse to watch Shrek: The Musical! They clans were fantastic, showing manners and respect during our visit. Thank you to all the champs who made the excursion possible.
