Kingsland Primary School headteacher Jacqueline Wilson has retired after 15 years at the helm and a total of 40 years in the teaching profession. Photo: Scottish Borders Council The last day of term marked the end of an era for one Peebles primary school, who bid farewell to their much-loved headteacher after 15 years at the helm. Celebrations for Jacqueline Wilson’s retirement were curbed by lockdown restrictions, but Kingsland Primary School made sure their headteacher didn’t slip quietly out the back door (former pupil Hilary Scott writes). It might have been April Fools’ Day last Thursday, but the announcement weeks earlier of Mrs Wilson’s intention to retire on this day was no joke.
Garry Spence extends Drive to MFR and Radio Borders
Garry Spence is extending his Drive show, currently on Clyde 1, Forth 1, Tay FM, West FM and NorthSound 1, to MFR and Radio Borders where it will replace the local peak shows.
He’ll be taking over the networked 4pm to 7pm slot on both stations from Tuesday 5th January 2021 creating an all Scotland FM Drive programme.
He said: “It’s going to be pretty special to be on Radio Borders and back on MFR during the week. MFR was my second home as a kid and I got my first daytime show the week after leaving school.”
