Lodged by Clare Adamson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 20 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Glencairn Primary School on its 120th anniversary; understands that the school was officially opened in 1902 by Lord Hamilton of Dalzell; further understands that, during the celebrations, P7 pupils read extracts from the first school logbook and described the school journey from the early years to the present day; understands that this included that in 1974 a group of pupils with hearing impairments were taught by Teachers of the Deaf and only integrated with other pupils in the dinner hall and playground, and that this was the case until 1984, when the new head teacher decided on a policy of total integration of pupils to ensure inclusiveness and equality for all, regardless of hearing ability; commends the outstanding dedication shown by the staff to the pupils, parents and carers; acknowledges what it sees as the important role that the school has played over the past 120 years to the local community, and wishes staff and pupils all the best for the future.
