It is with deep sadness that we have learned that our school chaplain and friend, Fr Duffy, died this morning.

He was a huge presence in our school community and will be sorely missed. Please keep him in your prayers.

May he rest in peace.

A mixture of weather this session. However, that didn’t dampen their spirits. The group worked on draw, j and pry stroke when journeying into Edinburgh City Centre. Great progression throughout. #IamDofE #DofEwithadifference #physicalsection #SilverDofEAward
