Back in 2011 Eastern Primary School was preparing to move from Whinny Brae to the former Grove Academy building on Camperdown Street. While the new premises offered more accommodation for the school, after nearly 100 years, there was considerable fondness amongst parents and carers and former pupils for the old school and its distinctive Victorian building.
While their 'new' school building was being converted and upgraded, a Community Art Project involved the children and staff in designing a public art work that would encapsulate the history of the school and its significant move. The pupils' designs were incorporated in the intricate shapes for the new school gate which can now be seen on Church Street.
Ferry film maker Duncan Nicoll sensitively captured this process on video and produced a thirty minute documentary. While this has been previously shown to pupils, parents and carers at the school, it has now been uploaded to YouTube so that a wider audience can share the experience of the school preparing for the move and designing the 'gate'.

This morning I attended the event to formally celebrate the opening of Eastern Primary School at its new location next door to the new Grove Academy. Eastern moved into the 'old Grove' buildings last August after these had been refurbished.
One of the remarkable features of the new school is the decorative gate to the playground on Church Street. This features art work created by the children commemorating the move from Whinny Brae to Camperdown Street.
The celebrations were held in the Games Hall and involved all the pupils in a series of well chosen musical performances. The event was ably and enthusiastically introduced by the Acting Headteacher, Vivienne Snee.
If I had to choose my two favourite performances, I especially appreciated the two young trumpeters, Cory Milligan and Louis Browne, who serenaded us when we arrived. Later in the proceedings, I enjoyed joining in with the whole school singing 'World In Union' which was a novel choice. Its adapted words helped focus on the new beginnings and possibilities for the current pupils and future generations of children who attend this outstanding Primary School.
