If one of the children in the Dalry community has achieved something special outside of school, from sporting success to chess, from environmental work to volunteering, or even an especially interesting activity, we love to hear about it in school.
If you think it’s worth a shout out here on the website as well then either talk to Mr Bennett if you see him or send an email and photo or two adressed to FAO Mr Bennett to the school’s admin email address.
Wider Achievements are celebrated in news posts which are also filtered in the wider achievments menu of the website.
