Two Angus primary schools are to benefit from a fund set up in memory of the teacher killed in the 1996 Dunblane tragedy.
The Strathmore Primary Badminton Club will get £998.22 from the Gwen Mayor Trust to support players at the school.
Another £950 will go to Aberlemno Primary School to create a relaxing, reading environment for pupils.
Teaching union the Educational Institute of Scotland set up the trust following the murder of Mrs Mayor and 16 children at Dunblane Primary school in 1996.
Larry Flanagan, EIS general secretary, said: “The Gwen Mayor Trust continues to support a wide range of wonderful projects in primary schools the length and breadth of Scotland.
“The EIS, and everyone associated with the Trust, is extremely proud that the Trust’s funding has benefited so many school communities and so many young people over the years.
“The work of the Trust in supporting arts, music, cultural and sporting projects across Scotland continues to be a fitting tribute to the memory of Dunblane Primary School teacher Gwen Mayor.”
Gwen Mayor’s daughter and a former colleague from Dunblane Primary School are Trustees to the fund, and all primary schools across Scotland are eligible to apply for grants.
The trust has agreed funding support for 11 projects across Scotland this year.
Other successful projects include a tone chimes musical project in Orkney, a healthy eating project in Dumfriesshire, a Scots language project in South Ayrshire and an inclusive play project in Aberdeen.
Strathmore Primary School in Forfar has 327 pupils with staff working to create an environment where children learn about respect, sharing, kindness and consideration for themselves and others.
The badminton club, which is held after school on a Thursday, is for P6 and 7s with some talented P5s also allowed to join.
Aberlemno Primary is a small rural school with just 18 pupils. It won praise during its latest inspection for creating a nurturing environment where children are well behaved, feel valued and included, and take pride in their achievements.
