Press coverage
In 2009, there was coverage following the 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] [2]
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 and were featured in local and national news. [3] [4]
