It includes 11 schools: Arduthie School Bervie School Catterline School Dunnottar School Glenbervie School Gourdon School Johnshaven School Kinneff School Lairhillock School Mill O'Forest School Carronhill School 1 Population Over the past ten years the population in the Mackie Academy Network Area has increased, by 1,381 people from 2001 to 2011, this is a 7.7% increase. There is an increasing and ageing population within the area; from 2001 – 2011 there was an increase from 2898 to 3731 in the pensionable population, this group of people now account for 19.7% of the population, this has increased from 16.2% of the total population in 2001. The levels of those of pensionable age and in the most deprived areas has remained fairly constant, while the level of those in the least deprived areas is increasing. This is a positive sign that the pensionable population are better off than they have previously been. However an increasing aging population provides unique challenges in delivering services, additional housing and the resulting demand in community facilities. 3 The population of children has been decreasing year on year over the past 10 years, in 2001 children accounted for 21.3% of the population; this has dropped to 18.4% in 2011. The population of children in the most deprived areas has decreased slightly from 19.3% in 2001 to 18.5% in 2001. The population of children in the least deprived areas is also decreasing, but at a greater rate. The falling number of children will have an impact on where priorities should sit over the coming years. Poverty Income Deprivation The rate of income deprivation in the Mackie Academy Network Area is 6.2%, which is lower than Aberdeenshire average of 7%, and lower than the Scottish average of 13%. The rate of income deprivation in the 15% most deprived datazones in the Mackie Academy Network Area is higher than the level of that in the other 85% of the population in 2011, and has been for the previous 10 years. The percentage of people income deprived in the 15% most deprived areas is higher than the national average of 13.4% at 17.0% in 2011. 4 Employment Deprivation The percentage of those in employment deprivation in the Mackie Academy Network area is 5.7%, this is lower than the Aberdeenshire average of 6%. Between 2002 and 2011 the rate of employment deprivation in the most deprived datazones in the Mackie Academy Network area has generally been around 50% higher than that in the rest of the area. Childhood Poverty The level of childhood poverty in the Mackie Academy Network area is 8.5%, which the same as the Aberdeenshire average of 8.5%, but lower than the national average of 18.6%. The rate of children in poverty in the 15% most deprived areas in the Mackie Academy Network Area higher than that of those in the remaining 85% of the population. 5 Education The average attendance rate in the Mackie Academy network area in Primary Schools is 96.4%, this is higher than the Aberdeenshire (96.2%) and Scottish (95.2%) average. Attendance rates at secondary schools with the Mackie Academy Network area falling just below the Aberdeenshire average of 92.8%, with a 92.2% attendance rate. This is higher than the Scottish average of 91.1%. Both Primary and Secondary school pupils have a consistently higher attendance rate in the 85% least deprived areas, with the differences being greater at secondary school between the 15% most deprived pupils and the 85% least deprived pupils. The percentage of S4 pupils who gained English and maths at SQF Level 3 or above is 98.0%, which is higher than the Aberdeenshire and Scottish average, 94.5% and 93% respectively. A similar pattern is seen with the percentage of S4 pupils with 5 awards at SCQF level 3 and above, with 98.1% within the Mackie Academy Network area attaining this compared to 93.6% in Aberdeenshire and 92.3% in Scotland. The percentage of S6 pupils with 3 awards at SCQF level 6 and above is 70.2%, which is higher than the Aberdeenshire average of 69.3% and the Scottish average of 64.6%. 6 In upper secondary education, pupils in the most deprived areas in the Mackie Academy Network Area do not perform as well as those in the rest of the area. The percentage of S4 pupils with 5 awards at SCQF level 3 and above; and those with English and Maths at SCQF level 3 and above, is generally higher in the 85% least deprived areas. The percentage of S6 pupils with 3 awards at SCQF level 6 and above is significantly higher in the least deprived areas compared to the most deprived 15% of the Mackie Academy Network area. In the Mackie Academy Network area 91.4% of school leavers go onto a positive destination, this is higher than the Aberdeenshire average of 91.3% and the Scottish average of 88.8%. 7 In 2010/11 91.4% of school leavers in the least deprived areas in the Mackie Academy Network area went into positive destinations (Employment, Further Education, Higher Education or Training) this is higher than the Scottish average of 88.8%. The number of school leavers going onto positive destinations in the 15% most deprived areas, is similar at 91.6% in 2010/11. Of the school leavers who did go on to positive destinations, the 15% most deprived areas of the Mackie Academy Network Area saw a higher proportion of pupils going into further education (33.3% in 2010/11 compared with 17.8% in the remaining area). In the less deprived areas a much higher proportion went into higher education (50.7% in 2010/11 in the 85% least deprived areas compared to 41.6% in the most deprived). Poorer qualifications are likely to be a major factor in why a much lower proportion of school leavers in the most deprived areas went onto higher education. Other factors include, poor transport links and lack of income to support full time higher education. School leavers from the least deprived areas were more likely to go into employment and training, than those in the 15% most deprived. Attitudes to Health The percentage of women smoking at maternity booking appointment in the Mackie Academy network area is 13.0% this is below the Aberdeenshire and national average, 14.7% and 17.1% respectively. 8 The proportion of women smoking at their maternity booking appointment is notably higher in the 15% most deprived areas compared with the rest of the area. The level has been falling gradually over the three year period from 44.2% in 2007/09 to 32.5% in 2009/11 in the most deprived areas. This is a 26% decrease over the period. However the difference between the most and least deprived remains almost three times higher in the 15% most deprived areas. In the Mackie Academy network area the rate of Low weight live singleton birth percentage of live singleton births is 0.7%, this is below the Aberdeenshire average of 1.27% and the national average of 2.04%. As can be seen in the graph, there is no real difference in the data between the 15% most deprived datazones and the rest of the area, as the figures are so small. This should be monitored over the coming years to ensure there is not a trend away from this low variable rate. 9 The level of breastfeeding at the 6-8 week review of babies is 56.7% In the Mackie Academy Network area this is higher than the Aberdeenshire average of 45.3% and the national average of 36.7%. The proportion of children, in the 15% most deprived areas, who are breastfed at 6-8 weeks was between 34% and 35% in between 2010 and 2012, this compares with a range of 53% to 28% for the rest of the area. As can be seen in the graph, the higher percentage has been consistent over the reporting period. Life Expectancy The life expectancy of Aberdeenshire between 2006 and 2010 was higher than that of the Scottish average for both males and females. Males were expected to live until 77.9 in Aberdeenshire, and 75.3 in Scotland, whereas females in Aberdeenshire were expected to live until 81.5 in Aberdeenshire and 80.1 in Scotland. The average life expectancy for men in the 15% most deprived areas in Aberdeenshire between 2006 and 2010 was 72.5, below the Aberdeenshire and national average. Males in the least deprived areas were expected to live above the Aberdeenshire average, living until 78.9 years. A similar pattern is observed in females, to a lesser extent. Female life expectancy in the 15% most deprived areas was 78.9, 3 years less than the least deprived areas and the Aberdeenshire average. 10 Levels of Crime The SIMD crime domain rate is based on five indicators of broad crime types: crimes of violence; domestic house breaking; vandalism; drug offence and minor assault and is referred to as ‘SIMD crime’ rather that total crime, as it does not include all recorded crimes.

    Education and Children’s Services EDUCATION & CHILDREN’S SERVICES PROPOSAL DOCUMENT: AUGUST 2015 ABERDEENSHIRE SCHOOLS ENHANCED PROVISION A) THE RELOCATION OF NEWTONHILL SCHOOL ENHANCED PROVISION CENTRE TO PORTLETHEN SCHOOL, PORTLETHEN AND B) THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ENHANCED PROVISION CENTRE AT MILL O’ FOREST SCHOOL, STONEHAVEN 1 Proposal for Statutory Consultation A) THE RELOCATION OF NEWTONHILL SCHOOL ENHANCED PROVISION CENTRE TO PORTLETHEN SCHOOL, PORTLETHEN AND B) THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ENHANCED PROVISION CENTRE AT MILL O’ FOREST SCHOOL, STONEHAVEN SUMMARY PROPOSAL Enhanced provision across Aberdeenshire has been reviewed and a nine area model is currently being implemented during 2014-16. (See pages 9-11 Section 4 Educational Benefits Statement 4.6.1 – 4.6.4) Each cluster will have a primary and a secondary Enhanced Provision Centre and each Area will have a Community Resource Hub. The aim is to provide support for all learners in the local schools through universal and targeted support and to ensure that Enhanced Provision is located where the need is greatest. At present the Enhanced Provision Centre for the Portlethen and Stonehaven cluster is located at Newtonhill School, Newtonhill. It is proposed that the primary Enhanced Provision Centre at Newtonhill will be relocated to Portlethen Primary School where the need is greatest. The only remaining cluster without primary Enhanced Provision is Stonehaven and the proposal is to develop a new primary Enhanced Provision Centre at Mill O’ Forest School, Stonehaven. The new Enhanced Provision model aims to increase capacity at a school and cluster level for all learners to ensure greater consistency of, and equity of access to, an improved quality of provision across the authority.

The characteristic form of the hills is flat-topped, with gentle slopes for the topmost 200 to 300 ft., then a rocky face of some 500 to 800 ft., and the remainder scree (Icelandic skritha = an accumulation of loose stones). These screes obscure the solid rock round the base of the hills. In all cases the ascent is diffi- cult, and on this map the Pyramid, De Geer Range, and Mount Jean are the only summits that can be reached with comparative ease. A series of soundings taken in Klaas Billen Bay and a large-scale survey of Bjona Haven, together with soundings taken in Storfjordr have been handed to the Hydrographic Department of the Admiralty for use on the next edition of the Spitsbergen chart.
