As 2025 draws to a close, we would like to say a heartfelt thank you to you all, along with our very best wishes for a Happy New Year.

We are incredibly grateful to our valued former pupils and staff who continue to think of us when visiting Edinburgh. It is always a pleasure to welcome you back and to show you around your old school — those moments mean a great deal to us.

To everyone who attended our coffee mornings this year in Edinburgh, York and Aberdeen, thank you for sharing your time, memories and stories. It has been wonderful to see these gatherings grow across the UK, forming strong connections, celebrating milestones and nurturing a real sense of community.

If you are new to the Herioter Hub this year, thank you for getting involved and helping us to build and strengthen this community.

With that, we wish you all a very Happy New Year when it comes — and please do give us a call on 6 January to make our first day back after the festive break even brighter!

Warm wishes,

Darren, Julie, Eilidh, Sarah-Jane and Miranda
