Archbishop Cushley has paid tribute to Andrew Sharkey, the former headteacher of St Kentigern's Academy in Blackburn, West Lothian, who died in November aged 54.
Speaking at Mass for the school's patron saint, he said: "I want to give thanks to God for the gift of Mr Sharkey and what he was able to do β for his family, for the local community, for the scouts, and for the school."
What a wonderful celebration of achievement. It was heartwarming to see the progress weβve made over the past year. Thank you to our amazing @StKentAc Care Experienced pupil ambassadors and @MissFowleyPE for presenting to everyone! You were absolutely fab! ππππ

A fantastic end to the Primary 7 enhanced transition, making use of our poly tunnel to plant our very own sunflowers to watch them grow over the summer before we return in the new termπ» It has been a pleasure meeting our new S1 cohort!
Lots of exciting work going on in the Multi-study for our Primary 7 transition programme. Mrs McWattie has created these visual timetables for our young people πβοΈ
Delighted to see our new pupils making good use of visual timetables during their transition days to maximise their independence in engaging with bespoke blends of multistudy and mainstream classes.
We have started the process of finding new S6 students with the enthusiasm and approachability to support our new S1 across their upcoming transition days and in August π
@StK_Support Itβs been a fun filled few weeks! A massive Well Done to all of our - soon to be - S1βs for their efforts in their enhanced transition! ππΌ Thanks again to everyone who helped out. π»
