Welcome

Pre-covid for several years Grantown Grammar School was in the fortunate position to offer 'The Shed' experience to our Strathspey Communities on a Friday afternoon during the  winter months. The school donated the use of its Technical Department workshops, tools and facilities. Staffing was provided by the Principal Teacher of Technical and his part time technician, who give their time freely to the project. All activities operated under the same conditions and practices our pupils follow throughout their weekly technical lessons. Post covid this project has moved from the school to the local YMCA building in Grantown. It is now called the SPEYSHED and has a much more inclusive programme. It can be found under SPEYSHED on Facebook or by contacting the YMCA in Grantown. 

The school continues to work with this exciting project and supporting future initiatives. 

When it was based at GGS  the purpose of ‘The Shed’ was :

• Our 'GGS  Shed' was used to promote as Grantown Grammar/Community-based, non-profit, non-commercial organisation accessible to all people, providing a safe, friendly environment where individuals are able to work on their own meaningful projects at their pace, in their own time.

• Provide a supportive environment for people to gather, work, teach, learn and seek fellowship with other like – minded people.

• Promote mental, physical, emotional and well-being of people in our community.
