Aren't our FPs just brilliant!

We are always delighted to hear from former pupils, sharing what they have done after leaving school. We were especially excited to hear about MES leaver, Mairghread Ellis and her involvement in making the Sword of Scotland for King Charles. Find details of the full story in the comments.

The Guild is still looking for a new President to take over in November this year, if you enjoy working with people and are looking for something unique and entertaining to do, please get in touch.

The Committee organise the events throughout the year and work with the Development Office to ensure the voice of Former Pupils is heard.

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, who have similar values and with MES as a common bond. It can also broaden your support network, exposing you to people with common interests, and fun and fulfilling activities.

Kenny Logan's Rugby World Cup Challenge 27/08/2023

One of our 1997 FP's, Tamsyn McLean is embarking on quite a challenge which she wanted to share as she raises money for the My Name5 Doddie Foundation on 30th September and would be delighted for any support.

Kenny and friends are set to take part in this unique and grueling challenge from Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh to the Stade de France, Paris. Supported by the Rugby World Cup, Kenny and supporters will be delivering the match ball to the Scotland V Ireland Rugby World Cup match, as well as raising important funds for the My Name5 Doddie Foundation in their fight against Motor Neuron Disease.

Tamsyn says "As you may know, I work in London and Paris so cycling between the offices seemed like a good idea at the time! Doddie Weir was at our sister school and I always admired him as a player and then for his courage when fighting his illness. His sister Kirsty was my PE teacher! Please donate if you get a chance, it’s never been more urgent to continue the research into MND!"
