Our final Faculty lunch of 2025–26, and a lovely opportunity to thank Miss Barnett for all her hard work, energy and enthusiasm during her NQT year before she leaves us. Well done team Social Subjects- another fab year! 👏🏻

S2 RMPS pupils explored the Buddhist belief in impermanence through a mindful Play-Doh activity. They created something meaningful, then destroyed it to reflect on change, non-attachment and letting go. A powerful way to bring learning to life. 🧘‍♀️✨

As we start our new timetable, I thought I’d reshare this RMPS revision and home practice website for all year groups. It includes study notes, quizzes, revision games, past paper question generators, and an essay builder tool. 📚 ✍️ sites.google.com/sl.glow.scot...
