We’ve made it! It’s been a good term. Thanks to all our pupils for working so well with us and to our dedicated staff team for all their work. Now EVERYONE switch off from school, rest and relax. Have a good two weeks, make sure you do your part to keep yourself and others safe from Covid -19. Take care, stay safe and I look forward to seeing you back at school on Monday 26 October. Mrs Milne
