  • Annual Review 2018 – 19
    ANNUAL REVIEW 2018 – 19 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela - 2 Foreword… 2018-19 was a year of self-reflection for the Active Schools team, having completed the Insights Personality test. Understanding others and appreciating our differences was one of the key learnings. This programme helped us build valuable working relationships and a network of partners, allowing Active Schools to make the impact they have made this year. The Active Schools team continue to work with and nurture senior pupils who officiate, coach, organise competitions, become Young Ambassadors who are our decision makers. Gaining relevant sports qualifications and valuable experience in delivery, the young people are able to Jude Salmon develop their employability skills. Active Schools Manager In today’s world we are affected by factors including stress, mental health, obesity and poverty. Taking part in sport and physical activity truly does make a difference to our lives and I hope that some of the stories you are about to read will illustrate this to you. The phrase, ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ says it all. Our bodies were designed to move and when we keep them healthy, we have a better outlook on life, and on learning. The most wonderful part of keeping fit and healthy is that it is fun, but as this annual review shows, it can also open doors into future careers through volunteering and coaching.

  • The New Portobello High School and New St John's RC Primary School
    Item no Report no The New Portobello High School and New St John’s RC Primary School The City of Edinburgh Council 25 October 2012 1 Purpose of Report 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the project to build the New Portobello High School and, more specifically, to: • advise on the outcome of the recent appeal to the Inner House of the Court of Session; • consider the legal options that might secure part of Portobello Park as the site for the new school; • consider what alternative site options are available in the event that building the new school on part of Portobello Park does not, ultimately, prove to be possible; • consider the delivery of a new St John’s RC Primary School; and • seek approval for the proposed next steps. 2 Summary 2.1 In December 2006 Council approved Portobello Park as the location for the new Portobello High School and in December 2008 approved the project to replace the school as the first priority in the Wave 3 programme. The funding for the project is in place, planning permission granted and a principal construction contractor approved. In April 2012 Council formally approved the appropriation of the land at Portobello Park as the site of the new school having previously intimated its intention to do so. 2.2 Since the project was first approved by Council the threat of legal challenge has existed. A Petition for Judicial Review was lodged in the Court of Session in August 2011 on behalf of a local action group, Portobello Park Action Group (PPAG), challenging the Council’s legal right to use part of Portobello Park as the site for the new school.

They understood, however, that a decision could not be made today because of the deterioration in the building’s condition and a shortfall in capital funding. The deputation sought reassurance from the Council that: all parties supported the establishment of a dedicated Gaelic primary school in Edinburgh; the current problems with the Bonnington building were only a temporary setback for the provision of a dedicated Gaelic primary school; and the Gaelic or English stream intakes at Tollcross Primary School would not be affected.
