Tiny tots head off into ‘big’ Brodick school

Brodick Primary School’s head teacher Shirley MacLachlan and principal teacher Claire Mooney join nine new P1 pupils as they wave goodbye to their teary-eyed parents at the start of the new school term on Wednesday morning. The scene was repeated at schools across the island and at the majority of mainland Scottish schools where pupils returned to lessons after enjoying almost six weeks of summer holidays.
