Duddingston Primary School Information for Prospective P1 Parents and Carers Duddingston Primary School Information for Prospective P1 Parents and Carers. October 2019 P1 registration at your catchment school week is 4th- 8th November 2019 P1 registration at your catchment school week 4th – 8th November 2019 All children must register at their catchment school regardless of any intent to apply for an out of catchment request. Our Depute Head Teacher Karen McCay is available to enrol children starting School in August 2019 on these dates between 8.30am and 3.30pm. A sign up sheet with appointment times is available on the open day. Appointments can also be booked by calling the school office. When registering your child at your catchment school you will need to provide the following documents for checking: • The child’s birth certificate • The Council Tax demand notice for this current year in the parent’s name • A utility bill [i.e gas, electricity, landline telephone or broadband] in the parent’s name and dated within the last 6 months The online non-catchment placing request form goes live on the 4th November 2019. These non- catchment requests can be processed online at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/placingrequest The deadline for all non- catchment requests is 24th December 2019. An acknowledgment letter or automated email is sent by the CEC to parents confirming receipt of this. The Council aims to provide places for P1 and S1 pupils at their catchment school if they are living in the catchment area by the end of November of the year before the start in P1 and S1. This means that all in catchment children registered during November 2019 will receive a place at their catchment school. You will be invited to bring your child for 3 introductory visits to school in the summer term 2020. On the 3rd of these dates you are invited to attend an introductory meeting in the school hall while the children will spend time in their new classrooms with their new teachers.

The school in context Duddingston Primary School is a co-educational, non-denominational primary school built in 1959, which serves the east side of Edinburgh. The pupils come from a variety of backgrounds, economically, ethnically and socially and learn together in a tolerant and caring manner. Duddingston Primary School is a traditional building with space for 14 classes in the main building. A brand new Nursery building opened in the grounds of the school in August 2015. This is situated in our playground near the P1 and P2 side of the building. The accommodation also consists of a temporary unit where a music room and resource room are housed. The main school building includes an ICT suite, a gym hall, a dining hall, a general purpose room and a support for learning room. The school has an extensive playground and grass field. Our existing wildlife garden is being further developed for outdoor learning. There are visiting specialist teachers for Music and Physical Education. There is Instrumental Teachers for Cello and Violin for P4-P7 year groups. Our associated cluster schools are: Parsons Green, Towerbank, Royal High Primary, Brunstane and Portobello High School. The school roll as of October 2019 is 376 excluding the nursery children. In the current session, 2019-20 there are 14 classes in the school. Parent Groups We have an active Parent Council at Duddingston Primary School. Parent Councils across Scotland welcome parents/carers as active participants in the life of the school, help parents/carers become more involved with their child’s education and learning and provide easier ways for parents to express their views. We also have a very active and hardworking Fundraising and Events Team [FET] who organise events for our pupils and families. They incorporate fundraising in their work. Duddingston Primary School has successfully established a Charitable Trust to support and improve the life and work of the school. The trust’s aims are to provide supplementary funds to develop initiatives, which benefit the children who attend Duddingston Primary School and its community. School Uniform The wearing of school uniform helps the children to identify themselves with the school community and be proud of belonging to it. The school uniform is as follows: Yellow or white Polo Shirt with or without school badge Blue Sweatshirt with school badge for P1 - 6 Darker Blue Sweatshirt with school badge for P7 4 Navy or grey trousers or skirt Shorts for PE Change of shoes [gym shoes] for PE Change of t-shirt for PE Gym bag for PE Kit School ties are available from our school office Uniform Order forms will be issued in June 2019 or can be collected from the school office. Please return all order forms with the correct payment prior to the end of the summer term. Additional uniform can also be ordered during term time in the school year from the school office. Our PTA has also started a second hand uniform sale throughout the school session. This will be available during the transition meeting for parents/ carers in June 2019. Please label all items of clothing. Lost property is located in the front entrance of the school. Meals, Clothing and Milk Payments School meals are available at no cost for all Primary 1- 3 pupils. These free meals are ordered in advance online using ParentPay. Milk is ordered and purchased on an annual basis. The Council can provide children from low-income families with free school meals and assistance towards the purchase of school clothing subject to certain criteria, usually those whose parent/carer is in receipt of certain benefits/tax credits. Young people over the age of 16 and living independently may also apply. Parents/Carers must ensure that the appropriate forms have been completed and sent to the City of Edinburgh Council. These forms must be filled in on a yearly basis. For children who wish to bring their own packed lunches, tables are set up in the dining hall. Children eat their lunch under the same supervision as the school dinner children. No child is allowed out of school at lunchtime to buy food. Children can go home for lunch; younger children must be collected. Security Parents/Carers are asked to support our efforts to make our school a safe and secure environment. Parents should drop their child off in the playground and class teachers will collect lines at the beginning of the school day. Smoking in the playground is not permitted. Dogs are not allowed into the school playground with the exception of Blind Dogs. Visitors are asked to report to the school office where they should sign in and collect a visitor’s badge, please ensure the badge is visible at all times. 5 Wet Mornings On very wet mornings, children should come into the school hall.

  • Brunstane Station I Would Like to Pick up an Issue I Tried to Raise in The
    Brunstane Station I would like to pick up an issue I tried to raise in the previous Community Council, but there were too many distractions at the time for it to receive serious attention. The headline issue is how large numbers of people can get to Portobello, but it also raises the question of the vision we have for the character and future of Portobello. My own wish is that Portobello should have lots of visitors – to enjoy the priceless amenity of the beach and Prom, as one of the most important of Edinburgh’s “lungs”, and also to support our local shops and other businesses. We don’t do a lot to advertise our attractions (Edinburgh is curiously neglectful of Porty), but even if we did, there remains the very significant problem of how people are to get here. When I raised this issue previously Cllr Walker said that there wasn’t a problem because the Beach is “mobbed” on hot days – but we had a fantastic Summer in 2013, and the Beach was never “mobbed”. There were huge expanses of empty sand, while in the ‘glory days’ people had to queue up until they could get a vacant spot on the Beach… The transport options are: • Car: there is hardly anywhere to park, and our streets are anyway clogged up with residents’ cars; anyone coming to Porty by car will carry on to East Lothian. • Bus: we have a great bus service, but it’s painfully slow (it can take as long to get through Porty as it then takes to get all the way in to Edinburgh), and it doesn’t cope well with big increases in demand (such as on hot Sundays).

  • Consultation Report on Towerbank Primary School, Edinburgh City Council
    Report by Education Scotland addressing educational aspects of the proposal by The City of Edinburgh Council to change the catchment area of Towerbank Primary School. 1. Introduction 1.1 This report from Education Scotland has been prepared by HM Inspectors in accordance with the terms of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 and the amendments contained in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. The purpose of the report is to provide an independent and impartial consideration of The City of Edinburgh Council’s proposal to change the catchment area of Towerbank Primary School. Section 2 of the report sets out brief details of the consultation process. Section 3 of the report sets out HM Inspectors’ consideration of the educational aspects of the proposal, including significant views expressed by consultees. Section 4 summarises HM Inspectors’ overall view of the proposal. Upon receipt of this report, the Act requires the council to consider it and then prepare its final consultation report. The council’s final consultation report should include a copy of this report and must contain an explanation of how, in finalising the proposal, it has reviewed the initial proposal, including a summary of points raised during the consultation process and the council’s response to them. The council has to publish its final consultation report three weeks before it takes its final decision. Where a council is proposing to close a school, it needs to follow all legislative obligations set out in the 2010 Act, including notifying Ministers within six working days of making its final decision and explaining to consultees the opportunity they have to make representations to Ministers.

  • Dalrymple Crescent a Snapshot of Victorian Edinburgh
    DALRYMPLE CRESCENT A SNAPSHOT OF VICTORIAN EDINBURGH Joanne Lamb ABOUT THE BOOK A cross-section of life in Edinburgh in the 19th century: This book focuses on a street - Dalrymple Crescent - during that fascinating time. Built in the middle of the 19th century, in this one street came to live eminent men in the field of medicine, science and academia, prosperous merchants and lawyers, The Church, which played such a dominant role in lives of the Victorians, was also well represented. Here were large families and single bachelors, marriages, births and deaths, and tragedies - including murder and bankruptcy. Some residents were drawn to the capital by its booming prosperity from all parts of Scotland, while others reflected the Scottish Diaspora. This book tells the story of the building of the Crescent, and of the people who lived there; and puts it in the context of Edinburgh in the latter half of the 19th century COPYRIGHT First published in 2011 by T & J LAMB, 9 Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 2NU www.dcedin.co.uk This digital edition published in 2020 Text copyright © Joanne Lamb 2011 Foreword copyright © Lord Cullen 2011 All rights reserved.
