Junior Awards Ceremony It will be a school for all, irrespective of ability or aspiration and will afford the opportunity to continue the development of strong, sustainable links with the University of St Andrews. Our school values are organised under three headings that to us express the essential elements of a successful school; Achievement, Ethos and Partnership. Achievement is not only measured by success in exams, important though this is, it encompasses the whole range of experiences that make up school life and in this Madras excels. In academic terms we were the only Fife school to be mentioned in 2 national newspapers in their lists of the top On Friday 24th June, we held our first Junior Awards Ceremony.

  • President's Report, Year Ended 2019
    ST ANDREWS-LOCHES ALLIANCE President’s Report, year ended 31st December 2019 2019 began with our now traditional New Year Drinks Party. This was a very pleasant gathering of about 25 members during which I was able to announce the Alliance Programme for the coming year. We continued to run the bar for the first three SCO concerts at the Younger Hall, which raised on average about £130. We are grateful to the SCO for bearing the cost of the necessary ‘occasional licences’. This activity has come to a temporary halt while the Younger Hall is closed for refurbishment. In April we welcomed a group of golfers from Loches. The Community Council kindly offered a trophy and this was contested by the Loches golfers and a team made up mostly of Alliance golfing members. With some financial support from the Links Trust, matches took place over the Strathtyrum, Jubilee and Eden courses. The Alliance team narrowly beat the guests and won the trophy which was presented by Callum McLeod, Provost of St Andrews at a dinner on the last night of the visit. A return match in the Loches area is planned for 2020. A group of pupils from Madras College once again visited their partner school in Loches, Collège Georges Besse. The Alliance was able to contribute £800 to help make this possible. We are very keen to support this exchange as it offers local pupils the opportunity to visit our twin town, practise their language skills and experience the French way of life. We were disappointed that the French school was unable to make a return visit, due largely to their concerns over the situation surrounding Brexit.

  • Breakfast Programme
    The Celebration of the Wedding of HRH Prince William of Wales & Miss Catherine Middleton Site Map 2 About the Event Today, two of St Andrews’ most famous recent graduates are due to be married in Westminster Abbey in London with the eyes of the world upon them. As the town in which they met and their relationship blossomed, we are delighted to be able to welcome you to our celebrations in honour of the Royal Couple, HRH Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton. A variety of entertainment and activities await, building up towards the big moment at around 10:45am where the Royal Couple will be making their entrance into the Abbey for the ceremony itself (due to start at 11am). This will be shown live on the large outdoor screen situated in the main Quadrangle. The “Wedding Breakfast” will be served from 8am on the lower lawn from the marquee with a selection of hot and cold food/drink available. Food will also be on sale throughout the day from local vendors. After the ceremony, and the traditional ‘appearance at the balcony’ the entertainment on the main stage will pick up again, taking the party on to 4pm. The main purpose of the day, aside from having fun, is to raise money for the Royal Wedding Charitable Fund. The list of charities we will be collecting for appears later in the programme. Most of what you see today is provided for free, but we would encourage you to please give generously. The organising committee hope you enjoy this momentous occasion and we are sure you will join with us in extending our warmest wishes and heartfelt congratulations to “Wills & Kate” as they look forward to a long and happy life together.
