The Scottish Council of Independent Schools is an educational charity representing over 70 member schools, which educate more than 30,000 children of mixed abilities and backgrounds. SCIS promotes choice, diversity and excellence in Scottish education. SCIS’s Role in Independent Education in Scotland: To provide information, advice and guidance to parents To advance education via curriculum development and the training of teachers To advise member schools and their governing bodies about the educational developments and legislation affecting independent schools(e.g. education, taxation, welfare, health and safety) To communicate and negotiate with the Scottish Parliament, the Government, public and private bodies on behalf of the sector All independent schools in Scotland are required to be registered with the Registrar of Independent Schools. The Registrar is an official of the Scottish Government and appointed by Scottish Ministers.

Scottish Charity No SC018033 Choice | Diversity | Excellence scis.org.uk 5 SCIS Information Service 6 Choice | Diversity | Excellence scis.org.uk Choice, Diversity, Excellence Independent schools in Scotland offer you the choice of small and large day schools, boarding schools, Co-ed, single-sex schools and complex additional support needs schools. As a group independent schools draw students from all sections of the community, and students who attend independent schools are as diverse as the schools themselves. Choosing a School Parents choose to send their children to independent schools for many different reasons, but above all, they choose independent schools because they feel a particular independent school will best serve their child and their child’s social and educational needs. All independent schools in Scotland have their own unique ethos and values, but they share a common goal of encouraging each individual pupil to be all that they can be, and to make the most of their time at school. They enjoy a reputation for wide subject choice, a focus on co- curricular pursuits, smaller pupil/teacher ratios and consistently strong exam results. The choice of mainstream schools is wide, and there are also special schools that provide care and education for children with additional support needs. All schools encourage visits from prospective families during their Open Day or at any time during the school year. Staff will be delighted to answer any questions that you may have. Meeting the Cost Fees vary widely between independent schools. Schools are sensitive, particularly in the current economic climate, to the sacrifices that many parents make in order to afford school fees. All schools provide some level of fee assistance, usually awarded on the basis of financial need. This is done to enable children from lower income households, who otherwise would not have the opportunity of an independent education, to benefit, and schools welcome applications for fee assistance. Curriculum and Qualifications Independent schools in Scotland have a strong tradition of academic attainment, reflected in pupils’ performance in public exams. Many schools follow the Scottish curriculum with exams awarded by the Scottish Qualifications Authority. Most boarding schools follow the English curriculum, offering GCSEs, AS and A levels. An increasing number of schools now offer the Scottish and International Baccalaureate.

Safeguarding All staff in independent schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the health and welfare of children and young people. Smaller classes, high teacher/pupil ratios, effective pastoral care and house systems (particularly in boarding) all contribute to a caring and nurturing environment. Inspections Independent schools are subject to inspections by Education Scotland. Residential schools and schools with nursery provision are also inspected by the Care Inspectorate. www.educationscotland.gov.uk www.careinspectorate.com Boarding in Scotland Scotland’s Boarding Schools welcome students from all over the UK, Europe and the rest of the world. All 18 boarding schools in Scotland are situated in safe, spacious and idyllic surroundings: from large city boarding schools to smaller rural locations, there is something for everyone.

This report has been prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements applicable to charities. GLOBAL PANDEMIC Impact on the Edinburgh Academy The Edinburgh Academy, along with the rest of the country watched the spread of COVID across the UK and the world in March 2020. The School had a few weeks of preparation to move to remote learning and teaching before the Scottish Government announced that schools would be closed from 20th March 2020 and that the certificate exams for 2020 had been cancelled and that the pupils would be graded on teacher assessments of their work. At this time the pupils in these certificate years were to be allowed into the School for 2 weeks to allow more evidence to be gathered to support their exam grades. This fast moving situation then changed again on Sunday 22 March 2020 when the Deputy First Minister made an announcement that no pupils were to attend school with immediate effect.

  • 2: Country Glasgow
    Downloaded from www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 THE ATTACHED TRANSCRIPT WAS TYPED FROM A RECORDING AND NOT COPIED FROM AN ORIGINAL SCRIPT. BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. Lecture 2: Country Glasgow SUE LAWLEY: Hello and welcome to the second of this year’s Reith Lectures. Today we’re guests of the University of Glasgow, the fourth oldest university in the English speaking world. Founded in 1451, it predates by two and a half centuries the union of Scotland with England. It’s produced seven Nobel laureates, two UK prime ministers, and, more recently, Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. In the eighteenth century, Glasgow was a centre for the Scottish Enlightenment. In the nineteenth, trade gave it the title of Second City of the British Empire. Today, it’s a place abuzz with talk of independence and the role of Scotland as a nation on its own. Proud of its history, its learning and its people, it’s a good place to hear a lecture about the nature of identity. In his series Mistaken Identities, the philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah is arguing that the subjects we rely on in order to try to define ourselves are often wrong or misleading. He began in London talking about religious identity. In forthcoming programmes he’ll be talking about race and about culture. But here, in Scotland, his subject couldn’t be more topical. It’s country. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the BBC’s Reith Lecturer 2016 Professor Anthony Appiah.
