History 4 S.H.I.N.E – SUCCESS – HONESTY – INCLUDED – NURTURED - EFFORT We are very proud of our history and established links within the local community. The school was opened in 1965 and over the years has developed a strong sense of community with a number of local families having several generations educated at the school and a number of RAF families being educated here over the years as personnel and squadrons have moved in and out of RAF Lossiemouth. We consider this to be an asset as the children coming and going bring first hand experiences of the wider world into our classrooms. Our School Hythehill Primary School and Nursery provides an educational service to children from Nursery through to Primary 7 (ages 3 years – 12 years). We are a non-denominational primary school with a current roll of 328 primary children and 30 nursery children. We also have an Enhanced Provision Base with an Autism Accreditation certificate. The catchment area of the school covers the west side of the town of Lossiemouth and surrounding rural areas to the west and south of Lossiemouth. We are also part of the Lossiemouth Associated School Group – this includes St Gerardine PS, Hopeman PS, Burghead PS and Lossiemouth High School The teaching areas are housed on several levels. On the ground level there are three classrooms, the nursery and the Base. On a further three floors there are ten further classrooms, a food technology room and an ICT suite. There are extensive grounds around the school including a staff and disabled access car parking area, a substantial outdoor learning area, raised flower beds, wildlife garden, a quadrangle with garden, concrete and grass playing areas, a large football pitch/athletic field and a concrete basketball court. Our playground has painted games to encourage children to play cooperatively. We are currently developing our Loose Parts shed to encourage more creative play. ASN Provision At Hythehill, we have an ASfL Base which also has the Autism Accreditation certification. The Base provides additional support through the provision of individualised work spaces and specific resources for those children who have been identified as having Exceptional Need. These children require individualised programmes of learning and for all or part of the day additional adult support. The majority of children accessing the Base and its resources are also active members of mainstream classes. The Base is under the guidance of Mrs Alison Sayers, Principal Teacher of SfL. Further Information Pupils are taught in mixed ability classes, as far as possible, according to their age. Schools in Scotland are staffed to a formula that relates to the school roll.

  • Hopeman, Moray
    Hopeman, Moray Area profile One of Moray’s seaside villages, Hopeman, originally called Newtown of Hopeman”, was established in 1805 to house and re-employ people displaced during the Highland Clearances. Founded by William Young of Inverurie as a fishing port, the village expanded to export stone from nearby quarries after the building of a new harbour in 1838. By 1850 some 70 fishing boats operated from the harbour and by 1890 there were 120. With the demise of local fishing, today the harbour is now a marina housing mainly pleasure boats. © Crown Copyright 2016 Corporate Policy Unit The Moray Council August 2016 1 /38 Table of Contents 1 Population Structure ..................................................................................... 4 1.1 Age profile ............................................................................................................. 4 1.2 Marital Status ........................................................................................................ 6 2 Identity ............................................................................................................ 7 2.1 Ethnicity ................................................................................................................ 7 2.2 Country of Birth ..................................................................................................... 8 2.3 Religion ................................................................................................................. 9 2.4 Length of residency for residents born

    SCHOOLS FOR THE FUTURE VISITS – LOSSIEMOUTH ASG LOSSIEMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL 1. Quality Educational Experience 1.1 Attainment In 2016 standards of attainment in SQA examinations were as follows. The percentage of young people attaining 3+ and 5+ Level 6 awards and 1+ Level 7 in S6 was below the Moray, national and virtual comparator averages. In S5 the percentage of pupils achieving 1+ and 3+ level 6 awards was slightly above the Moray averages but below the national figures and those of the virtual comparator. The 5+ level 6 figures at the same stage were above the Moray and national percentages and below that of the virtual comparator. In S4 attainment of those pupils who achieved 5+ at Level 4 are below the Moray, national and virtual comparator percentages whilst 3+ and 5+ at Level 5 are above the Moray average but below the national and virtual figures. The percentage of young people attaining National 4 literacy and numeracy is above the Moray, national and virtual comparator percentages whereas those achieving National 5 are above the Moray and National percentages but below the virtual comparator. When looking at the attainment of leavers in the attainment data for 2014/15, the percentage of young people who achieve National 4 Literacy and Numeracy is above the Moray, national and virtual comparator figures, however at National 5 the percentage is below Moray, national and virtual comparators. This is generally replicated when you look at the figures individually as well as local measures from Insight and would support further development of aspiration for young people to achieve at the highest level possible.
