Many congratulations to Margaret, hot on the heels of her @CarnegieMedals win, she has followed it up with one from @ukla! We are delighted for her, amazing to see a former pupil having such success. It’s well deserved! Our new S3s all have their own gifted copy too.

Thanks for sharing this month’s recommended reads from all our pupils across the 4 schools. It’s a great way to share common reads & to get some inspiration for what to read next, from pupils for pupils & for staff too!
16 Mar 2025
Always a wholesome visit to @WaterstonesEK to see our latest pupil book reviews via our @scottishbktrust Reading School collaborative!
It’s also so lovely to chat to ex-pupils about their careers as book sellers! 🤩
