  • Schools Inspected up to Week Ending 1 June 2018
    Schools inspected up to week ending 1 June 2018 This data relates to local authority and grant-maintained schools in Scotland. The data records the date of the last inspection visit for schools up to the week ending 1st June 2018. Where an inspection report has not yet been published this is indicated in the data. The data relates to general inspection activity only. This means the main inspection visit that a school receives. The list of schools is based on the Scottish Government's list of schools open as of September 2016: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/School-Education/Datasets/contactdetails For those schools listed which do not have an inspection date, this is due to a number of factors, including changes to the school estate, local circumstances, or the provision being reported in another inspection unit (GME units or support units).

  • Chairman's Welcome
    1 Chairman’s Welcome I would like to welcome everyone to the 2017 Disability Sport Fife (DSF) Annual General Meeting and Awards Evening. This year is a landmark year for the Association as it is our 40 th anniversary year and I’m sure Richard, when he sat in a meeting room in the old Fife Sports Institute in 1977, never dreamed he would be here tonight celebrating the success of so many athletes and coaches. The foundations of DSF are the weekly sports sessions which have continued to grow in number throughout the year and the Association is indebted to the coaches and volunteers who offer so much of their time and expertise to those sessions. Just recently we have had another successful Annual Sports Festival, which continues to be supported by Fife Council and the Fife Sports and Leisure Trust through our Service Level Agreement. DSF acknowledges the enormous support we receive from Fife Council and the Leisure Trust throughout the year in many different ways. DSF once again had a successful year in national events organised by Scottish Disability Sport. The third successive team win of our athletes at the SDS Senior Track and Field Championships and the achievements of Fife performance and Para bowlers throughout the year are particular highlights. Many thanks to the member organisations and coaches for their time and effort preparing Fife teams and individual athletes for these events. DSF continues to address the regional development arm of performance sport in Fife and the now well established High Performance, Performance and Development Squads which support individual members at various stages of their sporting development have had success in major events throughout the year.

  • Madras College Newsletter - Summer Term 1985
    Madras College Newsletter - Summer Term 1985 The month of June is one that most staff and pupils look forward to - for senior pupils it means that SCE exams are done with, replaced by the interest and challenge of new courses; for all of us it signals the approach of the long vacation, and the prospect in the meantime of long hot June days. These we still await. Perhaps July? This has been a session of considerable upheaval in the South Street Building. The creation, within the existing structure, of eight additional practical rooms has involved making some two dozen room changes. In spite of these changes, and the accompanying noises of hammering and drilling, staff and pupils have continued to work away steadily. I appreciate their tolerance. The fact that there has been much less disruption than was at one time feared, is due to the close co-operation of Mr McAra of the Regional Architect's Department, Mr Paterson, Assistant Rector (Administration) and Mr Prunty, Head Janitor, who among them have managed this complex operation with efficiency and good humour. The results of the alterations are a great credit to Mr McAra and the tradesman of Fife Region Works Department. One function of the newsletter is to welcome new members of staff and to thank those who are leaving. This issue is no exception. At the end of the term we lose through retiral four members of staff whose combined service in Madras College and, in some cases, in the old Burgh School totals over 100 years - Mr A.

  • SPTC 2012 Annual Report
    2012 Convener’s Report – Jeanna Brady Reflections on SPTC’s 64th Year Change continues to be the watchword for Scottish education and for SPTC too! As Vice-Convener of SPTC, I have encountered significant change as I found myself stepping into the shoes of our Convener, Kate Cunningham, who began long-term sick leave in the summer of 2011. Kate stood down late in the year but I am pleased to report she has made a good recovery and everyone at SPTC wishes her well. The pace of change at SPTC has continued unabated over this last financial year. Our target is SPTC’s long term financial sustainability, while strengthening the organisation’s services to parents and carers across Scotland. Parents and carers see SPTC as both independent and knowledgeable, something this year’s survey of our members has confirmed to us (more of that later). Members also told us how much they value the advice and practical support we provide. Membership is the backbone of our organisation: as our only source of funding, membership fees are vitally important if we are to continue in this unique role. The new three-year membership model for local authorities, which includes support time from SPTC for parent groups, continues to grow in popularity, as does the range of information and training sessions our team is able to offer. This financial year we worked face-to-face with in excess of 450 parents and carers in local authority areas from Moray and Aberdeenshire in the north, to North Ayrshire and Scottish Borders in the south – and many points in between.
