Rehearsals are also well underway for the school’s production of a Dan Gordon play called ‘Schauldies up the Chimley’, to be held on the 17th and 18th March. This production teaches the children from P1-P7 a lot about their local history, and the school has particularly focused on the life and inventions of Harry Ferguson.

To date the school has had a visit from an ex-pupil Emma Nelson who brought her tractor and trailer full of pigs to the school playground.
