In a school with 655 pupils, however, it is necessary to delegate responsibility for stages to Senior Staff.

During Mrs Morag Crolla's secondment to Edinburgh University to support initial and postgraduate teacher training, Mrs Noble has responsibility for Primary Four, supported by both Ms Anstruther and Ms Gallagher.
