Head teacher for new Noss Primary revealed

ALLY Budge has been appointed head teacher of Wick’s soon-to-be new Noss Primary School.

Mr Budge is head teacher at the town’s Hillhead Primary and will continue to have responsibility for Hillhead before taking on his new role when Noss opens in August 2015.

The appointment by Highland Council is to ensure a smooth transition of both Hillhead and Wick North primary schools into the new Noss school – the new north of the river primary.

Mr Budge has worked in Highland since 1986 and became head teacher at Hillhead in 1999.

He said: “Noss Primary School is the first step in a process which will mark a new era in the structure of education in Wick.

“I look forward to leading the school at this exciting and very important time.”
