And so it is with our young people. looked back on the past with gratitude and to the future with confi dence. So it is also with the Chapel, which is in some ways the That “unstoppable” quality to their development should remind us all of very heart of the School. Over one hundred years it has been a place how important it is to do everything we can for the pupils at QVS: they of collective worship, of quiet refl ection, of special celebration, for are going to grow up whether we like it or not, and our responsibility is generations of pupils and of staff.

    Housemaster/mistress Trenchard Queen Victoria School Perth Road, Dunblane, FK15 0JY Phone 0131 310 2973 Email [email protected] Foreword from the Head, Donald Shaw Working at Queen Victoria School is a truly unique experience. Staff take great pride in their work here and relish the opportunity of being fully involved in both the academic and pastoral life of our wonderful school. We have a very healthy teacher-pupil ratio and classes are typically much smaller than those in the state system. Although we have a long school day (from 08:50 until 16:25), students benefit from studying a wide range of academic subjects and Piping, Drumming, Dancing, Drill and Games. Older students also must join our CCF for at least 2 years. We hold to our strong ceremonial traditions and our strong links with the military community and have regular parades throughout the year, culminating in Grand Day, our final day of the summer term, which is a wonderful spectacle to be involved in. Queen Victoria School: School Profile Founded in 1908, Queen Victoria School in Dunblane is fully-funded for tuition and boarding by the Ministry of Defence to provide stability and continuity of education, within the Scottish system, for the children of UK Armed Forces personnel. Service personnel who are Scottish, or who have served in Scotland, or who have been part of a Scottish regiment are given priority. Fully boarding, co-educational and tri-service (for Army, Navy and RAF children), the School takes around 270 pupils from the ages of 10/11 up to 18.

  • Letter from Queen Victoria School
    Dear Alex I am writing to thank the Highland Society of London for their continued support and the cheque for £100.00 which was presented at prize giving on the 30th June 2017. Kirsten Hughes received the Highland Dancing award this year due to her outstanding commitment to the dancing team and department since joining Queen Victoria School 7 years ago. Kirsten was already a successful competitive dancer on her arrival, however, it was during her time here that she progressed through the sections and went on to take medal line-up places at Premier level. Along with her competitive achievements, Kirsten was a pro-active dance team member. Since her second year at Queen Victoria school she has been attending evening classes twice weekly, focusing on choreography dances and preparing for any external events. She has represented the school dance team at numerous events such as The Edinburgh Tattoo, The CCF Beating Retreat at Holyrood Palace and Stirling Armed Forces Day, to name but a few. In her final two years of school she volunteered her time twice weekly, to help assist my junior classes. Kirsten was a fantastic leader in the junior classes and she took on a teaching role as and when required, often spending one-to-one time with pupils that required extra support. Kirsten has hopes to one day become a Highland Dancing teacher and have a dance school of her own and, with the knowledge and skills gained throughout her time with us, I have no doubt that she will go on to succeed this.

    THE ARMY SCHOOLMASTER AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN THE ARMY, 1812-1920 by ELAINE ANN SMITH Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy, Institute of Education, University of London 1 ABSTRACT THE ARMY SCHOOLMASTER AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN THE ARMY, 1812-1920 It may appear to be somewhat incongruous that the Army, whose primary funct i on has been to prepare for war, shou 1d have been one of the earliest advocates of organized elementary education. Yet its i mpo rtance is someth i ng the Army has long recogn i zed. Soon after the Restoration in 1660, and perhaps even before, some regiments engaged masters to instruct their soldiers and also their offspring. Over the next 150 years an increasing number of command i ng offi cers appoi nted a su i tab 1e NCO to act as schoolmaster to the regiment, before the reforms of 1812 compelled them to do so. In 1846 civilians also became eligible to enlist as Army schoolmasters. Together they became members of the Corps of Army Schoolmasters which survived for nearly three-quarters of a century. This the sis con sid e r s the r ole 0 f the Army s c h0 0 1rna s t e r , his training and conditions of service, with particular reference to the period 1812 to 1920. Although not a comparative study it notes, where relevant, developments in the field of civilian elementary education. It does not consider the Army schoolmi stress, who taught the infants, except when her work impinges upon that of the schoolmaster; this subject has been the focus of another study.
