Yesterday afternoon was full of emotions as we said thank you, farewell, good luck and all the very best to both Mr Burns and our Primary 7s - 29 years for Mr Burns as Headteacher of Belmont Primary School, with many of our P.7s joining him for 9 of those years.

A lovely surprise & kind words from friends & colleagues today. Not sure where the 25 years have gone but a fantastic privilege to still be working with schools across D&G. There are however a few more grey hairs! @DGCEducation
