Twelve months on, and it is very pleasing to be able to say that the level of progress has increased substantially and we are now working up a considerable head of steam in our efforts to deliver a physical, social and economic transformation across the Clyde Gateway area.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Burgh Primary is one of 124 primary schools throughout South Lanarkshire Council. South Lanarkshire Council is the fifth largest authority in Scotland. It covers the following main areas; Clydesdale in the South which features extensive rural areas, Cambuslang, Rutherglen, Blantyre and Uddingston to the North as well as the towns of East Kilbride and Hamilton. The Council’s Plan Connect sets out the Council’s vision to improve the quality of life for all within South Lanarkshire. For Education Resources this means delivering services of the highest quality as well as striving to narrow the gap. It is about continually improving the services for everyone at the same time as giving priority to children, young people, families and communities in most need. The Resources Plan further builds on the commitment to improve the experience for children, young people and adults as they participate in learning or make use of the wide range of services within Education. The context for service delivery in Education Resources takes account of major national and local developments. These include a commitment to implement all aspects of the national programme, Curriculum for Excellence (CfE); a commitment to work in partnership with colleagues to meet the challenges of ‘Getting it Right for Every Child; and an awareness of the need to seek continuous improvement as we embark on a Journey to Excellence. Locally, the community plan, Stronger Together, and the ambitious outcomes for children within Education Resources’ framework of core policies help to inform the Resources Plan. The aims of South Lanarkshire Council, Education Resources, are shown on the back cover of the handbook.
