Absolutely thrilled to have been involved in innovating Scotlandβs ex arts curriculum by launching the Film and Screen curriculum. Not only is this attracting international recognition, but has also become a good news story for Scottish education.

Sad to hear the news of the passing of Jack Vettriano today. He made such an impact on the cultural life of Scotland and I am proud to have owned a number of his prints over the years.

βThese films are masterpieces,β Leo, Pr6. Couldnβt have put it better myself. Enjoying celebrating the CYPβs work as part of the Film & Screen curriculum at the DCA. Love too seeing the impact of the professional learning of the Film & Screen Summer School on teachers. Great way to finish the week.

A smiling graduate in traditional academic gown and hood stands in front of the blue and gold University of Glasgow sign. The background includes trees and the historic campus main building.
A group of graduates in academic gowns and hoods pose together under an stone archway in the cloisters with fairy lights wrapped around the columns. They are holding their diplomas and standing behind large white "UofG" letters.
A big group of graduates in academic gowns standing together outside the university cloisters which feature tall arches and intricate stonework. They are smiling and posing for a group photo on a paved courtyard.
A graduate in a black academic gown with a pink hood stands inside the historic Gilbert Scott building. There is patterned wallpaper and a large Gothic-style arched window in the background.
