Isla Ratcliff’s musical triumphs
Isla has won the Amnesty International Songwriting competition, reports Tudor Morris, of the Music School.
She has just had a blog published about her artistic inspiration for the piece, in the Huffington Post.
She also features on the STV website.
Radio 1 has also interviewed Isla for a programme to be broadcast in September.
As if that weren’t enough, Isla played with Karine Polwart at a gig in the Edinburgh University Students’ Union on Sunday.
And she has been accepted to attend the Oxford University Summer School for music.
Well done, Isla — you’re doing us proud!

This will take place at the end of June.

Please be in touch, at ‘intouch’, if you’d like further details.
Inter-faith issues: good discussions on Monday!
More positive news for Broughton, reports John Cudlipp, from Monday’s inter-faith meeting at school, when the higher Philosophy pupils got a chance to drop in. Present was David Chillingworth, Anglican Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld, and Dunblane, who is full of praise in his blog this morning for our young people’s enthusiasm and goodwill in discussion. Our thanks to all who attended, and we are very proud of how our pupils pitched in!
