  • Trinity Academy Parent Update Dec 2018
    Trinity Academy Wave 4 Replacement Project Update for Parents Background The focus of the Wave 4 Infrastructure Investment Programme is the replacement of seven secondary schools throughout the city which have not benefitted from any investment through the PPP1, PPP2 or Wave 3 investment programmes. The schools are Balerno High School, Castlebrae High School, Currie High School, Leith Academy, Liberton High School, Trinity Academy and Wester Hailes Education Centre (WHEC). In a report to the Education, Children and Families Committee on the 22 May 2018 the following criteria were noted as being those on which future infrastructure investment in secondary schools would be prioritised through the Wave 4 programme: Any existing building structure identified as having a short life expectancy would be top priority. Any existing building where core facilities do not support the necessary size of the expected future school roll would be a high priority. Priority for any remaining schools would be determined based on the combined condition and suitability scores. A further report to the Education, Children and Families Committee on 21 June 2018 provided the results of the prioritisation process and the Committee approved the following recommendations to: Agree that the current wave 4 capital allocation of £25m is aligned to delivery of the Castlebrae High School replacement and Bangholm sports facility (Trinity Academy) projects. Agree that a report is submitted to the Finance and Resources Committee which will include details of the capital and revenue implications of proceeding with the delivery of the Castlebrae High School replacement and Bangholm sports facility (Trinity Academy) projects. Agree that the report to Finance and Resources Committee also includes detailed business cases for all of the other projects identified so that consideration can be given to how these projects could be funded in the future.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
