West Lothian Council has congratulated pupils at one of its primary schools for their success in winning national awards for literacy.
A meeting of the full council backed a motion by local councillor Alison Adamson that the schools': "noteworthy achievements deserve special recognition and hearty congratulations."
Councillor Adamson's motion said: "Winning Excellence in Literacy from Education Scotland National Literacy Awards, is just one of the recent Knightsridge PS awards.
"The school has been named a 'Best Practice School' by Education Scotland and they won a WLC Stellar Award for promoting a reading culture.
"Last year also saw their head teacher, Allison Kennedy, become an OBE, deservedly awarded for services to education and literacy.
"A very popular lady with the children, their parents and school staff.
"Teamwork with so many people including their own author-in-residence, Christina Banach, WLC pedagogy officer, Mrs Cochrane and firm favourite, Pat Fisher, organiser and storyteller extraordinaire from Carmondean Library, as well as parents and of course all the teachers, have helped to take the children on an encouraging and inspirational journey.
"The most recent award, one of only two given in Scotland, is the Scottish Book Trust's Gold Reading Accreditation. It cannot be underestimated how much the children from Knightsridge PS have gained from becoming so involved in learning to appreciate the written word.
"Their enthusiasm and enjoyment is a joy to behold and they will remember their experiences long after school finishes and they go into adulthood."
She concluded: "The special presentations the children have delivered deserves to be heard by a wider audience.
"Council invites the school to give a presentation to elected members and invited guests involving teachers and children once Covid restrictions ease sufficiently.
"Officers are requested to liaise with the school and Carmondean library to allow the children to showcase their work and demonstrate how Knightsridge PS has become an award winning school."
