Press coverage

In 2009, there was a formal opening of a £19 million refurbishment and extension to the school - invited guests included Cardinal Keith O'Brien and Susan Boyle, who was a former pupil.[1]

In 2012, a group of pupils made a video to highlight the high rate of poverty amongst children in the UK, and submitted it to competition for Unicef. As well as winning the competition, they were also awarded a Rotary Young Citizens Award.[2][3]
