Education |
|
Schools put in a lot of effort to help pupils get
the most from their education. This goes on quietly without
any fuss.
However, occasionally schools are given special
recognition for their efforts. This happened in 2005 when
Blairgowrie High School was awarded School of
Ambition status because of its work with the local community and businesses
to encourage a spirit of enterprise in its pupils. |
