We were delighted to welcome @annabelwriter to Merchiston on Wednesday. Ms Steadman is the best-selling author of the #Skandar series. The boys were so excited to talk to her and had lots of questions. @MerchiLibrary - Thank you to Ms Gibb for organising. #reading #inspiration

The best things come in small packages - or at least in small classes! Our students benefit greatly from small class sizes and a high teacher-to-pupil ratio, enabling staff to deliver highly tailored lessons and individualised care.

You can be surrounded by people but still feel lonely. Loneliness is often misunderstood - it's a feeling millions of us have had, even when we're with our friends and family. #IveBeenThere #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

This Mental Health Awareness Week we're on a mission to let everyone living in loneliness know that their mental health matters.
Let's tackle loneliness together. Say #IveBeenThere
