Today VOLA SCRAN pop-up restaurant opened its doors for the first time to 7 lucky staff members! Our S3 pop-up restaurant offered a Scottish menu of haggis bonbons, steak pie, balmoral chicken, cranachan & teacakes. All food was cooked and served by the pupils. Well done!

Vale of Leven Academy will be 'dropping everything to read' on Wednesday 11th May as part of the #KeepTheHeid initiative. Reading for just 6 mins per day can reduce stress by 68%. Why not visit @wdclibraries to borrow a book and join in the campaign? #keeptheheidandread #vola
