announces the death (14/7/22) of Professor Emerita Effie Maclellan. She was valued for her razor-sharp intellect, her principles and her wit. She was a generous colleague and an inspirational lecturer.
Today colleagues from the School of Education joined family and friends to celebrate the life and work of our lovely colleague Dr. Helen Marwick. She will live on in her work and in the work of the students she taught and the teams she worked with. 💛
What a fantastic day! PGDE 2022-23 was brought to a finale with the closing ceremonies in the concert hall. The hard work of all was celebrated by Primary in the morning and Secondary in the afternoon. A slightly dramatic ending with a power cut, but everyone was still smiling!
The Barony Hall is full of
