A special open day to mark the occasion saw old displays and memorabilia put on show as well as fun activities, with a children’s entertainer and a magic show.

“It went better than anyone could have hoped,” said Sarah Ewart, principal teacher. “It was a fantastic day.

“It was wonderful that it was a community event and the villagers turned out to have a look around the school.

“The children had been making commemorative tiles with the help of Ceramic Cafe in Dunfermline. Each child did two tiles, one to take home as a memento and the other to be mounted on display in the foyer.” The pupils also displayed work they had been doing on various topics that covered the school’s history.

From transport, health and wellbeing, machines and technology and the village and school, there was a wealth of different projects on show.

“All the classes worked incredibly hard and took on an aspect of history from the past 150 years over the period the school has been open,” said Mrs Ewart. “There were lots of things on display, including photos and artifacts, as well as a school logbook that went back to 1914.” The children performed a school song and the senior pupils interviewed local residents about their memories of the school, helping to add to the great community atmosphere of the day.

“It was a massive community event,” said Mrs Ewart. “There were villagers who had attended the school years ago, past staff and headteachers, grans and granddads, it was a lovely day.”
