As you may have heard a wonderful local institution, Gorgie City Farm, has collapsed into liquidation over the weekend.
Over the years it has been a vital part of the fabric of our local area and we would like, as a school, to express our sadness at the loss to Dalry, Gorgie and Edinburgh.
Dalry Primary School and Dalry Nursery were regular visitors at this great free attraction and will miss it keenly.
We would also like to express our thanks, gratitude and kindest wishes to the great staff who have kept this resource running so long and been of such support to not just our school but so many vulnerable people in our wider community.

Parents and all the nursery children join us as we visited St Martin’s Church for our annual Harvest Celebration where we gifted the food and toiletries our generously donated to the church so that they can be distributed to those in need in our local community.
We were met by Yousouf Gooljary, the Rector, who spoke to us about the importance of sharing.
Thank you to St Martin’s, Yousouf, the parents and grandparents who came with us, and all the children who learned so much about sharing with others.
