Whitelees Primary in Abronhill welcomed a number of special guests as it celebrated being awarded its first '˜Gold' flag by sportscotland.

The School Sport Award is a national initiative to encourage schools to continuously improve physical education and sport, as well as strengthening links between schools and their communities.

To achieve a Bronze or Silver award, schools self-assess their current practice. However, to gain Gold status an extensive external assessment is also carried out by an independent panel of experts.
