We would like to take this time to thank our entire learning community of Gretna Green for making this year a great one! Both teachers and students are ready to unwind and enjoy the weeks of summer holidays that lay ahead. Soak up this well deserved break with family and friends and we look forward to seeing you all in again in September!
