Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the latest Friends of Blackness meeting at Blackness Primary School.
Friends of Blackness undertakes both the Parent Council and Parent Teacher Association roles at the school and, last night, there was an extremely positive meeting with a Head Teacher's Report, discussion about school meals, feedback on the highly successful Christmas Fair and using funds for school improvements.
Gordon Ferrier, Blackness Primary's excellent Head Teacher, will be on secondment between April and the start of the 2015/16 session at another primary school, but Blackness Primary will remain in safe hands with Depute Head Teacher Michelle Allan as acting head teacher, pending Gordon's return in August.
