It has been agreed with the Directorate that the school can negotiate use of the monies to decide how it is spent. Keith feels that the use of development time for staff would be beneficial for the school but this might not be possible given the current shortage of supply teachers. CfE Keith confirmed South Ayrshire were well ahead with the CFE plans. Two new information leaflets – info for learners to go out to S 1-3 pupils and second leaflet (info for parents) to go out with summer newsletter to parents of new S 1-3 pupils as their youngsters will be sitting the new type of exams. Answers to questions to the many questions are starting to come. Keith is happy with school experiences continuing but it’s about embedding the new qualifications structure. It will take a lot of hard work to set in place and the leaflets will assist in explaining this. Ongoing discussion/debate re new examination structure. Unions on a work to rule 35 hr week – unsure how big the effect will be. Could impact on the extra-curricular activities. It will be the teachers choice whether to do the activity or work to rule. EIS not part of this yet. SSTA union are doing this. Self Evaluation – Parent Survey Keith pleased 300 surveys issued , 21% return rate. Despite there always being areas for improvement, overall there were good results. The last question showed 90 % were happy with the school. Parent Consultation Sina said the Parent Council didn’t come out well from the survey. Discussions took place as to how the message of CFE and communication in general re events etc could get across to parents. It is felt that there are plenty of avenues for parents to access but there is an inherent lack of interest. The same people support the Parent Council, and those that complain will continue to complain. It was suggested that Parents’ Night be a better opportunity to raise Parent Council awareness. The information is here if parents want it. It was also suggested a table/display board at Parents’ Night/Awards Ceremony be put in place to promote the Parent Council. It could also show how the money had been spent and the events that had taken place. Diane will make a display for the board. The regulations of the licence for the Race Night did not permit advertising the event as it was outside the club membership. A club can only advertise internally. It was felt that a different location be sought to avoid this problem, ie Carrick Centre? Straiton had a Psychic Ladies Night. This raised £700 and had great attendance. It was suggested there were alternative evenings planned. Sina going to respond to survey to go into newsletter to re-enforce to parents how they can get access to information. Pupil Survey Keith confirmed 82% of pupils enjoyed learning in school Keith read out stats – pleased with the results. Only 25% said Pupil Council keeps me informed.

  • News Release 28 August 2012 AYRSHIRE TEACHERS GO
    News Release 28 August 2012 AYRSHIRE TEACHERS GO STATESIDE FOR GLOBAL PILOT SCHEME Six teachers from schools across South Ayrshire have returned to their classes following an education and training summit in the United States ahead of the introduction of a new global pilot scheme in their schools. Teachers Katrena McDonald and Sarah Proctor from Ayr Academy, Grant Crawford and Danielle Hawkins from the town’s Kyle Academy and Joanne Jeffers and Claire Thompson from Marr College in Troon all took part in the three-day training conference at the University of Michigan in Detroit over the summer break in advance of introducing the Big History Project into their classrooms. Aimed at pupils in S2 and S3, the Big History Project weaves evidence and insights from many scientific and historical disciplines across 13.7 billion years into a single, accessible origin story. One that explores who we are, how we got here, how we are connected to everything around us, and where we may be heading. The 12-month pilot, which is funded through former Microsoft founder Bill Gates’ Catalyst Three, will see the three Ayrshire schools work with schools in Australia and the United States testing the online curriculum, promoting multi-disciplinary learning across subjects. The six Scottish teachers were the only group from the UK involved in the training programme following a competitive application process, organised by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), involving seven local authorities from across Scotland. Speaking on his return from the United States, Grant Crawford from Kyle Academy, said: “The Big History Project is about introducing the real and meaningful links between subjects such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Geography into a broad historical narrative.
