  • Annual Review 2018 – 19
    ANNUAL REVIEW 2018 – 19 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela - 2 Foreword… 2018-19 was a year of self-reflection for the Active Schools team, having completed the Insights Personality test. Understanding others and appreciating our differences was one of the key learnings. This programme helped us build valuable working relationships and a network of partners, allowing Active Schools to make the impact they have made this year. The Active Schools team continue to work with and nurture senior pupils who officiate, coach, organise competitions, become Young Ambassadors who are our decision makers. Gaining relevant sports qualifications and valuable experience in delivery, the young people are able to Jude Salmon develop their employability skills. Active Schools Manager In today’s world we are affected by factors including stress, mental health, obesity and poverty. Taking part in sport and physical activity truly does make a difference to our lives and I hope that some of the stories you are about to read will illustrate this to you. The phrase, ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ says it all. Our bodies were designed to move and when we keep them healthy, we have a better outlook on life, and on learning. The most wonderful part of keeping fit and healthy is that it is fun, but as this annual review shows, it can also open doors into future careers through volunteering and coaching.

  • Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant
    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828. He was born in Edinburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Grant was the first professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in England and personally donated many of the specimens, dissection materials, diagrams and lecture notes that comprise the collections of the museum today.

  • SC016580 Merchiston Castle School Updated Inquiry Report
    FILE NOTE: DATE: 17 November 2011 AUTHOR: OSCR SUBJECT: REPORT UNDER SECTION 33 OF THE CHARITIES AND TRUSTEE INVESTMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 ON INQUIRY: MERCHISTON CASTLE SCHOOL (SC016580) Background As part of the Rolling Review of charities the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) undertook an inquiry into the charitable status of the Merchiston Castle School under section 28 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’). This involved a desk-based review of written materials in order to determine whether public benefit was provided by the charity. A face to face meeting was also held with the School to help gather this information. Consideration To have charitable status, bodies have to pass the ‘charity test’ as laid out in sections 7 - 8 of the 2005 Act. The charity test requires bodies to have exclusively charitable purposes, to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere, and to meet certain other conditions. Section 7 (1) (b) of the 2005 Act, provides that a body meets the charity test if - • it provides (or in the case of an applicant, provides or intends to provide) public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere Section 8 (2) (b) of the 2005 Act requires that in determining whether a body provides or intends to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere, regard must be had to – a) how any – (i) benefit gained or likely to be gained by members of the body or any other persons (other than as members of the public), and (ii) disbenefit incurred or likely to be incurred by the public, in consequence of the body exercising its functions compares with the benefit gained or likely to be gained by the public in that consequence, and b) where benefit is, or is likely to be, provided to a section of the public only, whether any condition on obtaining that benefit (including any charge or fee) is unduly restrictive.

  • The New Portobello High School and New St John's RC Primary School
    Item no Report no The New Portobello High School and New St John’s RC Primary School The City of Edinburgh Council 25 October 2012 1 Purpose of Report 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the project to build the New Portobello High School and, more specifically, to: • advise on the outcome of the recent appeal to the Inner House of the Court of Session; • consider the legal options that might secure part of Portobello Park as the site for the new school; • consider what alternative site options are available in the event that building the new school on part of Portobello Park does not, ultimately, prove to be possible; • consider the delivery of a new St John’s RC Primary School; and • seek approval for the proposed next steps. 2 Summary 2.1 In December 2006 Council approved Portobello Park as the location for the new Portobello High School and in December 2008 approved the project to replace the school as the first priority in the Wave 3 programme. The funding for the project is in place, planning permission granted and a principal construction contractor approved. In April 2012 Council formally approved the appropriation of the land at Portobello Park as the site of the new school having previously intimated its intention to do so. 2.2 Since the project was first approved by Council the threat of legal challenge has existed. A Petition for Judicial Review was lodged in the Court of Session in August 2011 on behalf of a local action group, Portobello Park Action Group (PPAG), challenging the Council’s legal right to use part of Portobello Park as the site for the new school.
