Kilgraston longest-serving staff

Whilst Kilgraston celebrates an important birthday in 2020, we are also celebrating some of Kilgraston’s longest-serving staff.

Amongst those who have worked here the longest, is Kilgraston’s Deputy Head, Mrs Carol Ann Lund, who has been teaching at Kilgraston since 1989. Head of Classics, Mrs Annie Bluett, started in 1991, teaching French and English before becoming a Housemistress for ten years and then became Head of Modern Languages. She said: “Kilgraston has given me my whole career and educated my children.”

Also celebrating long service is Support for Learning teacher, Mrs Pam Ferguson who started in the Junior Years School on supply for four weeks and has just started her 25th year at Kilgraston. She said: “I’ve got so many wonderful memories of Kilgraston and our amazing pupils. I particularly loved seeing a photo of Georgina Futong with Hilary Clinton during the last Presidential election in the USA. Having taught her in Reception and Lower First, I always knew that she would do something special and different. “

Junior Years School Secretary, Ms Trish Stack is another one of our longest-serving members of staff. She started at Kilgraston in 1997 as a Receptionist. She said: “From when I started, the staff and pupils were really wonderful to work with and have absolutely loved it ever since. Working with children is something I never envisaged and it makes my role unlike any other standard admin role and I think it’s pretty special.”

Our Head of Housekeeping, Mrs Lillian Friars is another one of Kilgraston’s longest serving staff, starting in 1993. Lillian said: “When I started working here, there were still a number of nuns working in the school so it has changed a lot over the years. But one thing that hasn’t changed is that Kilgraston is still a wonderful place to work.”
