Lynn McLaren, one of our lovely Tollcross Primary class teachers sadly died on Wednesday. Lynn was a much loved teacher, colleague and friend. Many people in our school community will be upset by this sad news.

Our thoughts are with Lynn’s husband Fraser and her two sons Ross and Jack.

We will have a condolences book available at the school entrance from Monday 5 June. Families, children and former pupils are welcome to leave a message for Lynn’s family, share a memory or for little people, share a drawing.

Lynn was a wonderful teacher and a great friend to everyone at Tollcross Primary School, she will be sadly missed and remembered for her kindness, laughter and warmth.

A huge well done to our amazing TX swimmers, divers and support crew who attended the Edinburgh Schools Swimming Gala at the Commonwealth Pool on Wednesday. Everyone did an amazing job and the group were fantastic ambassadors for our school. Our teams came first for both breast stroke and backstroke out of all the medium sized school in Edinburgh. A brilliant achievement!

This is a fantastic opportunity for those 10 years and older and is fully funded. Details in the link below.
