@Mr_AZ_Fell I'm entering for myself, @daswappler, from NE Scotland! The only Scottish participating cinemas would have abeen a four hour drive and some of us don't have a flaming Bentley to speed us there. I can confirm I am over 18.
We were excited to meet all the P7 pupils today transitioning to S1 @MintlawAcademy after the summer break. The pupils will spend 3 days at the Academy this week meeting their teachers and getting to know their timetable before officially starting in August. #learningtogether

Crew has been hugely inspirational for our schools and applied and adapted for individual contexts. @PortyAcad@MintlawAcademy sharing their journeys, challenges, and successes. #excelerate
Lots of fun had on our annual nature walk as part of Health Week 2023! Delighted that the esteemed Mr Holding and Mrs Stephen could join us for the sunshine ๐ #learningtogether#mintlawacademy
It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea
Congratulations to our @MintlawR team who finished second in the @matecenter regional @RobertGordonUni this week. Incredibly proud of this group of young people, here are some of them receiving their Mintlaw Academy pin as recognition of their hard work! #learningtogether
Happy to announce I am one of a number of strategic PTs appointed @MintlawAcademy PT S3-6 Health & Wellbeing!
Looking forward to working with colleagues to take things forward next term - lots of exciting stuff on the horizon at the school! #mintlawfamily
Ready for the holidays in a big way; meant to remind my seniors to 'revise' over the holidays and my brain came up blank and after buffering supplied... 'remember to... reduce, reuse recycle'. I mean, still important, but probably less impactful to their academic prowess.
Pleased to announce (belatedly, but excitedly all the same) that I am now undertaking the strategic role of Principal Teacher of Crew (S1-2 Health and Wellbeing). Can't wait to really flesh out these ideas over the holidays and beyond. #mintlawfamily
An action shot featuring S4 Konar, who always keeps me updated on his sporting excellence! Proud of our teamwork and drive outside of school as well as in.
"The Boys Are Back In Town" opens with a question, posed not to the listener but some unspoken addressee: "Guess who just got back today?" This creates a certain dramatic irony, as we, the listeners, already know the answer from the title. The answer is, of course, the boys.
