Hello PittencrieffPS . We love the thank you cards you sent your instructors from a few weeks ago. Good to know you learned as much as you did. Thank you!



Wow , Miss Wyse what great work from your P7's, it encapsulates the power & outcomes of a #BrilliantResidential so well! So important we ensure this is accessible for all via Liz Smith CBE MSP 's Bill. schoolsresidentialbill.org SAPOE Tx for sharing Torbain PS & Nursery

Wow Torbain PS & Nursery what a fab idea! We're not sure of the canoes would float...(!) but what a great way to revisit all the learning from your residential a few weeks ago and discuss challenges overcome, key points etc. Brilliant! SAPOE Juliet Robertson

Today we're posting an open letter to the John Muir Trust, signed by 27 ex & current Ardroy staff. We're asking the JMT to reconsider the 'pause' in the John Muir Award. This was a key part of our environmental delivery, and is sorely missed. Full text at tinyurl.com/JMTOpenLetter




Buckhaven PS sent us this vlog of Team C learning from the highs and lows of a day out in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Imagine the potential of this experience being paid for by @ScotGov (instead of parents) if Liz Smith CBE MSP bill was made law! Please give feedback at yourviews.parliament.scot/ecyp/schools-r…

Hello Hill of Beath PS & Pitreavie PS ! Our first Fife Schools of the academic year :-) The coach arrived at 1220, they'll shortly be in lunch after a quick intro chat, then ready for a week of challenge and learning in the outdoors.

Hello Hill of Beath PS & Pitreavie PS - we'll be sharing photos of all the learning this week on our Flickr feed as follows HofB - tinyurl.com/HillofBeathPSS… Pitreavie - tinyurl.com/PitreaviePSSep… Photos generally get updated every evening before 1700


It's a cracking day in Lochgoilhead ☀ Pitreavie PS are out on an Adventure Day, Hill of Beath PS tackling the mighty Jacob's Ladder. More photos to come tonight!


Happy 50th Birthday to our 'neebs doon the loch' Blairvadach Outdoor Education Centre - Glasgow ! Ardroy is 55 yrs old (so we're obviously older and wiser....) but we really value all the partnership working with you. Here's to another 50!


Hello SinclairtownPS ! The coach arrived about 20 mins ago, everyone is now in having lunch before dorms, fire drill, meet your instructor and OUTSIDE!

Hello SinclairtownPS - we'll be sharing photos of all the learning and adventure this week via our Flickr page at tinyurl.com/SinclairtownPS… We'll aim to upload before 5pm daily, but it might the following morning if we're busy or groups are running late.

Hello Lundin Mill PS ! The coach arrived at 1200, and they're heading straight in for lunch. We'll tweet again when SinclairtownPS depart on the same coach.

Aaand exactly half an hour later, SinclairtownPS are en route home! Bus departed at 1230. School will update parents with ETA as they head back to Fife

Wow SinclairtownPS this looks fab! What a great way to reflect on and share your learning post residential and pass this on to next year's P7! Well done! What a great idea - SAPOE Association of Heads of Outdoor Education Centres worth a RT?

Our Development Manager Phil Thompson has been contributing to Education, Children and Young People Committee Committee's deliberations of Liz Smith CBE MSP 's Bill to make residentials a funded entitlement for all. Yesterday the Committee visited SOEC Broomlee . We hope they are convinced of the massive potential this could be!

Excellent job PittencrieffPS P7's! We'd love to see the presentations sometime, might be useful to share with other schools 👍

Hello Carnegie PS & Nursery - if you have look on YouTube at youtu.be/uNGWy3cRGnU, there's a mash up of some of the filming we did with the P7's this week. Some of might even make it into our new promotional video!
