Under the leadership of a new principal and deputy principal, Creek and Spot Bay Primary School has maintained positive attitudes among staff and students during the pandemic, a school inspector said.

Creek and Spot Bay Primary School received a second ‘Satisfactory’ rating from inspectors, largely maintaining its individual grades while improving in a few areas.

On Saturday, Cayman Brac’s Creek & Spot Bay Primary Schools celebrated the official opening of their new playing fields.
Primary schools across Cayman Brac and Little Cayman came together to host the annual Cayman Brac & Little Cayman Inter-Primary School Sports Day with students from each school competing in either of two houses – the Hornets and the Chargers.
