Senior pupils showed visitors round the school and parents spoke to staff and pupils. The tour also included a look at details of the proposed £3 million Mayfield sports centre development, which was announced last week.

Junior pupils showed off first-aid, creative writing and computer skills and Primary 4 pupils gave a display of their language project, based around pirate ships.

“This is a very special event for us and really gives our visitors an unparalleled insight into life at the school,” said rector Mike Duncan.

Mr Duncan said he was particularly pleased that so many of his pupils took part in the day.
