Inside the school, a former junior secondary building, there are spacious teaching areas, a full sized gym hall, dining area, a library/music room and a curriculum kitchen. We are very proud of our school which is an A listed Art Deco building, much admired by everybody who visits the school. Outside there are extensive grounds; at the back there is a very large grass area and the tarmacadam area at the front houses a full size netball pitch and other playground markings. As a result of a successful linked school and community bid to the People’s Millions Lottery Fund, we saw the installation of an all weather pitch in the grounds which is shared with our community and surrounding area. The school has a nursery HUB for 2-4year olds and covers the primary stages P1 to 7. There are currently eight Primary classes, two at P1 and the nursery has capacity for up to 60 children. Information about the nursery is contained in a separate handbook.

Chirnside Primary School Handbook for Parents and Carers 2020-2021 7 Accommodation The layout of the classrooms is broadly in line with Curriculum for Excellence levels. Early level classes have the opportunity to share activities and resources. Our Nursery has direct access to an outside play area and has its own door for parents. First level (Primaries 2 to 4) consists of 3 classrooms in close proximity of each other While Second level (Primaries 5-7) are mainly on the upper levels of the school in self-contained classrooms. Other facilities include a large hall for PE, a library, a canteen, learning support classroom. Playground We are very lucky at Chirnside Primary School to have large school grounds. The two playground surfaces are made up mostly of tarmac. A group of children are developing a new garden space at the side of the building. Children also have access to a Multi-Use Games Area at break times and during Physical Education lessons. We make good use of the school playing fields, especially in the summer months. We also enjoy the use of the woodland adjacent to the school. Security In the interests of safety for all concerned, all visitors coming to the school must enter by the main entrance and then report to the School Office where they will be requested to sign our visitor’s book. In order to ensure the security of all pupils, parents or designated adults should bring/collect all Nursery children to/from the Nursery classroom. It is very important that the school has accurate and up-to- date contact details for all pupils so we can contact parents/guardians quickly in an emergency. Playground Supervision An adult is present in the playground from 8.40am and at break times, the children are never out unsupervised. No child who is having a school meal or packed lunch is allowed to leave the school playground during lunchtime. During inclement weather, children will be supervised in the school building before school from 8.40am and in a classroom at morning break and lunchtime. Chirnside Primary School Handbook for Parents and Carers 2020-2021 8 School Uniform and Dress Code At Chirnside Primary School we seek your co-operation in sending your child to school wearing the school uniform.

  • MEDIEVAL BERWICK Berwick Has Been a Garrison Town Since the Middle Ages Because of Its Strategic Position on the Anglo-Scottish Border
    MEDIEVAL BERWICK Berwick has been a garrison town since the Middle Ages because of its strategic position on the Anglo-Scottish Border. Through the centuries, the town has hosted soldiers of many nationalities. In 1298, King Edward I installed a garrison of 60 men at arms and 1,000 foot soldiers, including some Gascon mercenaries. A petition sent to King Edward II on 20th April 1317 relates to the arrival of an Irish soldier of fortune in the town: “The mayor, bailiffs and commons of Berwick greet the King and inform him that John le Iirois [“the Irishman”] came to Berwick on the Monday before mid- Lent [March 7th] and sought leave of the Keeper to go to western parts to harass the enemy, and did so, and then returned to Berwick on April 12 with 38 men at arms and 54 hobelars (light cavalryman), well equipped, and John and his men are staying in defence of the town up to the date of this letter and still remain.” (Ancient Petitions) Apparently the Irishman had complained that his mercenary men-at-arms all of whom were: “suitably mounted and armed with aketon (a padded quilted jacket), hauberk (a mail shirt) and bascinet (open-faced light helmet)”, were not receiving appropriate pay of 12d a day but were being treated as ordinary hobelars, who were paid only 6d. The petition asks: “May the King recompense John as one who has deserved a reward, having grieved the enemy to the utmost of his power.” After the final capture of Berwick in 1482, Edward IV appointed the Earl of Northumberland Warden of the East March and Keeper of the Town and Castle of Berwick.

  • Border Brains Walks Berwickshire Border Brains Walks Introduction
    Border Brains Walks Berwickshire Border Brains Walks Introduction Welcome to Border Brains Walks: your free guide to exploring the lives and ideas of the Berwickshire geniuses David Hume, James Hutton, Duns Scotus, James Small and Alexander Dow, in the beautiful landscape that gave them birth. The world’s great minds have given us many good reasons to step outside for a walk and a think. Walking was William Hazlitt’s university: “Give me the clear blue sky over my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours’ march to dinner – and then to thinking!” wrote the essayist in On Going a Journey. Berwickshire’s own David Hume, the philosopher, successfully petitioned Edinburgh Town Council to create on Calton Hill Britain’s first recreational walk, entirely dedicated to the public’s healthy pursuits and living. “A circulatory foot road,” he argued, “would present strangers with the most advantageous views of the city … and contribute not only to the pleasure and amusement, but also to the health of the inhabitants of this crowded city.” In this urgent age, we must work hard to find spaces of time to walk or ride a horse or bicycle, to gather our wits and sense our passage over the earth. According to an Arab proverb, the human soul can only travel as fast as a camel can trot. “Modern travelling is not travelling at all,” thought the poet and artist John Ruskin: “it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.

  • Scottish Borders Average Cost Per Pupil
    March 2016 Background Information and Data References School Roll Projections Every year the primary and secondary roll figures from the annual census are used as the starting point for calculating role projections. Birth numbers provided by the NHS and data regarding housing planned for the area over a five year period are then used alongside school rolls to calculate the number of existing and expected children within the catchment area. In the calculations an assumption is made that for every 100 houses built, there will be 30 primary and 15 secondary pupils added to the catchment school area. These figures are realistic in terms of national levels and local trends. Patterns within the Borders show that at most half of planned houses are actually achieved and therefore we use the figure of 50% of the planned housing in our calculations. These calculations provide a forecast of the school rolls expected should all pupils attend the relevant catchment school. This allows us to plan capital investment where required to meet occupancy needs. 2014/15 data from 2014/15 Scottish Government Pupil Number Annual Return 2015 Roll from 2015/16 Scottish Government Pupil Number Annual Return Occupancy calculated from School Capacity and Roll Number each year by Scottish Borders Council. Capacity versus Roll School capacities were last updated in 2006. They are currently only updated annually if a school has had any alterations that would affect its capacity. In October 2014, the Scottish Government produced new guidelines on how to define and calculate school capacities for primary schools. In the next few months Scottish Borders Council will conduct a piece of work to update school capacities based on these guidelines.

  • Berwickshire Parishes Along the Anglo-Scottish Border As Described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books
    ‘hence the name’: Berwickshire parishes along the Anglo-Scottish Border as described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books Eila Williamson University of Glasgow More than 1,800 of the Ordnance Survey’s Original Object Name Books exist for the whole of Scotland, albeit with some gaps.1 These books date from 1845 to 1878 and detail notes made by surveyors – both personnel of the Royal Engineers and civilian assistants – as they recorded the orthography and descriptions of the place-names that were to feature on the Ordnance Survey Six Inch First Edition maps. The Name Books provide a rich source of information about nineteenth-century society and its perception and understanding of place-names. In recent years the value of this source has been increasingly recognised and has resulted in a large-scale crowdsourcing transcription project to mount transcriptions of all of the entries contained within the Name Books, along with images of the original pages, on the ScotlandsPlaces website.2 The system of Name Books was not unique to Scotland but had developed from previous Ordnance Survey work in England and Ireland.3 Evidence of embryonic forms of what would later become the method used in the Name Books has been cited for Lincolnshire and Hull, while the earliest surviving example of printed sheets (each with four columns), which were bound together to form a book, can be dated to c.1839 in Doncaster.4 This paper presents a study of the Ordnance Survey’s work in five Berwickshire parishes 1 The Ordnance Survey has deposited the original manuscript volumes in the National Records of Scotland, Edinburgh (shelfmark OS1).

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
