Portobello High School turns 150 this year, and our Journalism class is marking the milestone by interviewing the people who make Porty… Porty. We’re talking to the teachers, staff, pupils and alumni whose stories bring the school’s history to life.​

Kick things off with our first Porty 150 exclusive: an interview with Mr McDowall. He shares his vision for the school’s future, what leadership means to him, and some brilliant personal stories – including embarrassing moments, his rock‑band past, and what it was like teaching Lewis Capaldi before he was famous.
