Information is subject to change and we endeavour to inform parents of any significant changes in school as they occur. Be The Best Version of You! 2 Dear Parents/Guardians, The current pandemic has affected the normal running of schools in many ways. This Handbook reflects the way the school usually runs but does not cover all of the changes that we have made because of the pandemic. Our arrangements have changed in many ways this session, and may well change again, depending on how the pandemic develops. For the most up-to-date information about any aspect of the work of the school, please make contact and we will be able to tell you about our current arrangements. For the latest information about how the pandemic affects children, young people and families across Scotland, please visit the Scottish Government website, which has helpful information about Coronavirus and its impact on education and children. On behalf of the staff and pupils, I would like to welcome you and your child to the school community of Inverlochy Primary. Our aim is to ensure that our children are safe, happy, included and love learning. Inverlochy Primary School is located within Inverlochy Village. The village forms part of the Fort William area, which was purpose built in the 1920s to house workers for the British Aluminium Company. Inverlochy Primary School is an integral part of this village community. We pride ourselves on our friendly ethos and community links. If you are looking for a suitable school in the Fort William area, there are many reasons to choose Inverlochy Primary. Our staff have a full and varied range of abilities and expertise which allow us to cater for the unique talents, needs and ambitions of your child. As well as striving for every child to reach their academic potential, our pupils enjoy a full programme of co-curricular activities to ensure a broad education (although these activities have been somewhat impacted by current COVID restrictions). I hope you will find this handbook useful. At Inverlochy Primary we aim to ensure parents are always made to feel welcomed and listened to. If you have any queries that this booklet doesn’t cover, please do contact us at any time and a member of our team will be happy to help you. We look forward to working in partnership with you to ensure the best possible outcomes for you and your child. Kind regards, Mrs K Clark Head Teacher Be The Best Version of You! 3 About Inverlochy Primary School Inverlochy Primary is a non-denominational school situated at the edge of Inverlochy Village with a catchment area which includes Claggan, Glen Nevis, Torlundy and An Aird. We cater for children from 3 to 12 years of age. It is a bright, well-cared for school, well equipped with a large gymnasium and playing field, allowing scope for all the children’s physical education and games. At the moment, the roll is 141 and currently pupils are organised into 6 classes. We are very fortunate to have a stand-alone Early Learning and Childcare Centre which offers flexible nursery provision for three and four year olds as well as out of school care for Primary 1 to Primary 7 pupils. The ELCC telephone number is 01397 701287. At present in the Nursery there are 44 pupils enrolled, who attend on a flexible basis all year round, from 8.30am to 6pm. We are part of a Nursery cluster group which is supported by an Early Years Support Officer, Miss Lia Hunter. Inverlochy Primary School vision, values and aims School Vision At Inverlochy Primary, our vision for every member of our community is to: Be The Best Version of You! School Aims Inverlochy Primary is a rights respecting, collaborative, self-reflective community. We aim to build strong and effective partnerships to improve outcomes for all children and allow them to experience success in school and beyond school. All staff have responsibility for developing literacy, numeracy, health and wellbeing and digital literacy across the curriculum. Children are engaged in a curriculum which is progressive, relevant, motivating and supportive. At Inverlochy Primary School, our vision is embodied in the school aims, which are: For our school community to have a shared understanding of wellbeing, children’s rights and in the dignity and worth of every individual. To put children at the heart of everything we do, promoting a love of learning through a motivating, relevant and purposeful curriculum, differentiated to support the needs of every child. To encourage children to take responsibility for their own learning, successes and achievements, enabling them to develop the necessary resilience and confidence to make decisions about their own learning and to lead others’ learning. To promote equality and social inclusion in a compassionate community in which adults and children listen to and support each other and feel able to challenge discrimination and intolerance. Be The Best Version of You! 4 To seek progress through positive partnerships, working closely with parents, our local community, outside agencies, and the children themselves, to facilitate improvements in attainment and achievement. To create a self-reflective culture of high standards and expectations and celebration of success to promote the best possible conditions for learning and teaching. School Values At Inverlochy Primary School, our values guide the way we work. Our children and staff are encouraged to: Spread happiness Respect our school, our community and each other Show compassion A Access to Pupil Records The Pupils’ Educational Records (Scotland) Regulations 2003 extend to parents the right of access (with certain specific exceptions) to any record held by the Authority in relation to their child. Parents may make application to the Head Teacher. Achievement Pupil achievement is marked in a number of ways. At a monthly assembly, certificates are awarded to two pupils from each class who have been nominated by their teacher or fellow pupils. Be The Best Version of You! 5 ‘Pupil’s Pupil Award’ certificates are given to children who follow their class charter. These charters are devised by each class at the beginning of the year to promote positive behaviour through links to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. ‘Teacher’s Pupil Award’ certificates are given by teachers to pupils who display attributes as successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors or responsible citizens. These are the four capacities which the Curriculum for Excellence aims to foster in children and young people. Wider achievements are celebrated on class and school displays, in regular newsletters, on our Facebook page, on our website and in local newspapers. Class teachers also use Class Dojo, stickers, certificates, notes home and stampers to show something has been achieved. Our online ‘Wall of Fame’ slide is updated regularly and added to our blog. This represents the best work from each class. Our ‘Inverlochy Superstars’ display reflects the wider achievements of our pupils. Additional Support Needs The amount of additional support time allocated to a school is based on the identified needs of a school. Additional support can take many forms in a school from working as an individual, in a small group, in a large group with a particular curriculum focus or through team teaching.

  • Frequency Planning Feasibility Study
    Small scale DAB: Frequency planning feasibility study Technical study: August 2015 Published with minor editorial amendments as Annex 4 to the small scale DAB trials final report: 26 September 2016 Small Scale DAB: Frequency planning feasibility study Summary Ofcom is publishing this study to accompany our final report to Government on the small scale DAB trials. The technical work for this study was carried out during the second half of 2015, and the content of this document reflects the situation at that time. Spectrum requirements for small scale DAB To increase the opportunities for community radio and small scale analogue commercial radio services to join the DAB digital radio platform, ‘small scale DAB’ multiplexes are being considered. UK DAB services are currently provided using spectrum within a part of VHF band III known as ‘sub-band III’1. An initial study, carried out for the Manchester area, concluded that further spectrum beyond that available in sub-band III would be required to provide small scale multiplexes in any future wider roll-out of small scale DAB. What we did This study considers the technical feasibility of such a wider roll-out from a frequency availability and frequency planning perspective. The study contains details of a theoretical small scale DAB network which has been developed solely to assist with producing this feasibility study. These ‘notional’ networks are purely indicative, and more detailed frequency planning, international engagement and internal UK coordination work would be required before practical networks could be deployed. We have identified six frequency blocks from another portion of VHF Band III, known as ‘sub-band II’2 that could potentially be used for small scale DAB.

EU funding works in 7 year cycles, so “the last 10 years” was interpreted as follows: • The whole 7 years of the 2007-2013 period, for which (in theory) full information is available • As much of the 2014-2020 period as could be ascertained at this time – 2014-2016 being 3 years. EU funding can be split into two main categories: • The European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF), which are mostly devolved back to the member states and, in the case of the UK, then distributed separately in England, Scotland, Wales and NI. The ESIF also covers the Interreg programme which funds projects on the basis of trans- national partnerships and which distributes funds via a number of geographically focused strands and sub-strands (Scotland is eligible to participate in 8 of these sub-strands).

One universe consists of the experience of millions of listeners for whom things have seldom been better. In terms of choice, listeners not only have more than 300 FM and AM commercial radio stations, a diverse suite of services from the BBC and a range of new community services. Many can also access at least 25 radio services through digital terrestrial television and satellite users can choose from over 90 stations. Through DAB, listeners in the majority of UK cities have access to over 35 digital stations. You can pause and rewind live radio programmes; you can discover more information about radio programmes through text and data services. UK broadband subscribers, now over 50% of the population, also have access to thousands of stations across the world.

  • Written Answers
    Friday 6 July 2012 SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE Enterprise and Environment Mary Scanlon (Highlands and Islands) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will initiate a study on the carbon footprint of biomass plants that use materials such as draff. Holding answer issued: 28 March 2012 (S4W-06182) Richard Lochhead: Over the past months the Scottish Government has facilitated meetings between the Scotch Whisky Association and farming bodies to discuss concerns regarding the use of distillery co-products for renewables generation. In these stakeholder meetings it was decided to commission research into a wide range of aspects which are relevant in the context of distillery co-product use. The research includes the nutritional value, pricing, production of and demand for distillery co-products as livestock feed in Scotland. It also looks into the carbon implications on farm of using distillery co-products compared with other alternative feed rations. On completion the report will be discussed with stakeholders and the need for further research will be explored. Such research may include, but would not necessarily be limited to, carbon footprinting. The design would need to take account of any issues of commercial sensitivity around the data on which it is based. Christine Grahame (Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Executive what funding it has provided to community radio in each of the last five years. (S4W-8179) Richard Lochhead: Community radio is important to the Scottish Government in reaching micro- local communities with public information messages. For each government campaign we assess the relevance to the audience in order to compile a media schedule, which often includes community radio.
