It was a sad day today
It was the last day this beautiful old building would be used as a place of learning
It started off as Grange Secondary School (high school)
My grandad, mum and myself were educated there.
My mum and I had our primary education at St Johns Primary at that time it was
located in a building a few streets away from the Grange
The original had outside toilets and separate playgrounds for boys and girls
An increase in numbers resulted in St Johns being relocated to the Grange building
Our girls were educated at Claremont Primary
This is the school that St Johns is amalgamating with
Aimee has just finished P5 and Murray his pre school nursery at St Johns
The girl returned home today with her shirt signed by her school friends
as they are about to head to a new adventure in a brand new school
At 12.45 today St Johns had a closing ceremony and at 15:30 closed
its doors for the last time
I have to say I like our daughter and grandaughter found it a bit emotional
Oh and as a wee bit of extra info my mum was Dux of both schools
It's now onwards to Redwell Primary School
