Title
Girls in fancy dress, Gala Day, Wester Hailes
Description
Four girls are wearing fancy dress and are standing near to a running track to have their photograph taken. Two of the girls wear majorettte costumes with high peaked hats and carry decorative batons. The other two girls are dressed as clowns and wear pointed hats and the same large t-shirt. They both have painted faces, but one is happy and the other is sad. Each of the girls has a numbered sign pinned to their costume. A black dog runs past them on the left of the picture and behind them there are groups of other competitors.

This photograph is taken on the playing field at Wester Hailes Education Centre, with the flats at Westburn visible behind the trees in the distance.

The school was successful in its application for The Quality Standard Award which reviewed the Centre's curriculum, learning and teaching, and continuity and progression in learning including transitions.
