This initiative aligns with our school's longstanding commitment to compassion and community, offering a safe and supportive environment during this critical transition.Headmaster Rob Taylor said, "We at Cargilfield School were deeply honoured to have extended our support to these remarkable women who showed extraordinary resilience in the face of adversity. Providing them with a safe haven as they prepared to embark on their studies was a small but meaningful way we could contribute to their journey. This collaboration with the Scottish Office of the UK Government and the Norgrove Foundation reflected our shared values of humanity and education, and we were proud to have played a part in helping these future doctors build a brighter future in Scotland. We welcomed them with open arms and wish them every success in their endeavours.”
