On Friday 19 December 2025 we would like to invite pupils and staff to dress down/wear something festive to celebrate the end of term.

On Thursday 4 December 2025, thirty of our S1 pupils enjoyed a truly enchanting experience at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, where they attended a performance of Cinderella. From the moment the curtain rose, the students were captivated by the stunning set design, vibrant costumes, and the fresh, imaginative twist on this classic tale.
The production was filled with laughter, music, and moments of pure magic, and it was wonderful to see our pupils so engaged throughout. Many commented on how much they loved the modern interpretation and the energy of the cast. For some, it was their first visit to a professional theatre, making the day even more special.
Trips like this are a fantastic way to bring literature and storytelling to life, and we’re delighted that our S1s had such a positive and memorable experience. A huge thank you to the staff who accompanied the group and helped make the day run smoothly. Ms Breslin
