Aberdeen's Middleton Park school is celebrating a near flawless report from Education Scotland.

The Bridge of Don primary was awarded a score of 11 out 12 - making it one of the best in the country.

It comes two years after the school had been recommended for closure - but a successful parent/public campaign has sparked new ideas in the classroom.

Teachers say that creating a curriculum around technology and creativity has excited and motivated pupils.

Pupils have been able to create short films using drone footage - as well as perform plays like "MacBeth in Mandarin".
