Education |
|
Schools put in a lot of effort to help pupils get
the most from their education, and occasionally they are given special
recognition for their efforts. This happened in 2005 when
Breadalbane Academy received a special Ambassador
for School Sport award by the Daily Telegraph.
It said " through dedicated PE staff, a sports
development officer and a qualified coach, the
school has become a beacon of sporting excellence.
with many pupils at the school now showing capacity
to reach elite level." |

'electoral ward'. Fiona is a hard-working
Liberal Democrat councillor in East Dunbartonshire.
She juggles her council work with her business
