Best Primary School: Glenburn PS, Prestwick

Sunday 7th Feburary

The tradition of grassroots football in Ayrshire is very much alive in Glenburn Primary School. The fifty-a-side playground football with a tennis ball of yester-year may be dead but in Glenburn all pupils are encouraged to train or play under the school banner. They can do this thanks to the volunteers they attract to help coach football, including teachers, parents, local police , community safety wardens , ex local referees, all of whom give freely of their time to support this football activity. This passion for football has been rewarded with the school becoming the "Best Primary School in Scotland" in the McDonald's - Sunday Mail Grassroots Football Awards organised by the Scottish Football Association (SFA).
