Fetterangus School in its own words
In its own words: "We recently updated Fetterangus school's Aims and Values. Our children thought of words that would fit an anagram of FISHIE, the local name for our village and school. We brainstormed ideas during an assembly, and then voted on the words that we felt represented us best. Words like "Fun" and "Inclusive" were on all of the children's brainstorm sheets."
The school runs a breakfast club.
