Scottish schools 'to stage musical'

December 23 2009

The producers of a musical about a threatened Edinburgh school are to encourage others schools to set up their own production after winning an £8,000 Lottery grant, it has emerged.

Angus Reid, the father of two children at the threatened Stockbridge Primary in the Scottish capital, wrote Primary School Musical, the BBC reports.

"I'm a single parent, we lived abroad and my kids came back with me four years ago and enrolled at Stockbridge, which were wonderful years. The school really helped us a lot," Mr Reid was quoted as saying by the British broadcaster.

Adam Chappell, a seven-year-old Stockbridge Primary pupil who is in the show, plays Prawn.

He starts off as a kid at another school being bullied, but then he goes to Sunnyside Primary, but then it turns out that Mr Grime wants to close the school. "But in the end, I save the day," he said.
