It was also an emotional time as the Larbert school community prepares to pack up and move to its new ‘home’ in Grangemouth.

The £17.5 million purpose-built facility has been constructed in the grounds of Moray Primary.

In addition to classroom accommodation, the new school will feature therapy and sensory rooms, a life skills training flat, multi-purpose and flexible social space areas, swimming and hydro-therapy pools, a sensory garden and pupil transport drop off zones.

But last week it was time to reflect on the past session and bid farewell to those who were moving on to new challenges.

Head teacher Gillian Robertson listed the highlights of the school year.

Belle Plates (3R)performed Auld Lang Syne, while Elisha Duffy and Rachel Verhees played a guitar piece in memory of former puil Iain Wightiman.
