To mark the start of Foster Care Fortnight (11–26 May), we have launched a new fostering campaign. The "Could You Be Part of Their Story?" campaign highlights how fostering is about more than just care, it’s about being part of a child's life journey.

✨ Young stars shine at Newbattle! ✨
Primary pupils from across the Newbattle ASG took centre stage as Newbattle High School hosted its first-ever Cluster Cheer Competition 🎉
Over 130 P5–P7 pupils wowed an audience of nearly 300 parents, carers, families and staff with confident, high-energy routines. For many, it was their very first time trying cheerleading – making their performances even more impressive 💫
A fantastic day celebrating teamwork, confidence and community spirit 👏
