  • Standards and Quality Report 2019-2020 School Improvement Plan 2020-2021
    Rothienorman School Standards and Quality Report 2019-2020 School Improvement Plan 2020-2021 Head Teacher: Mrs Rachel Wood 1 School Vision, Values and Aims Our starting point for learning is a positive school ethos and a climate of mutual respect, trust and pupil voice. This area will form part of our new school improvement plan for 2020/21. Rothienorman School is committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same. We will hold ourselves to the highest standards and promote positive recognition for those who go ‘above and beyond’. Fundamentally, this is a joint effort between pupils, staff and parents/carers. As a collective community we revised our school’s values during 2019/20 session. As a result, we have new core values that underpin the ethos and day-to-day life in the school. These new values are: Achieve your SPARK! Achievement Strength Perseverance Ambition Respectful Kindness Our next priority is to involve all stakeholders in developing our vision, aims and curriculum rationale for the school and this will form part of our new School Improvement Plan as detailed later in this document. This is the foundation to building a successful school and one where everyone is respected, valued and takes responsibility for their actions. The values are embedded in all we do around school and we are looking at additional ways to ensure children live and breathe the values, so they are not just a gimmick or wallpaper in school.

  • Proposed Action Programme 2018
    Proposed Action Programme 2018 Introduction The purpose of this Action Programme is to set out the key strategic actions needed to implement the Aberdeen City and Shire Strategic Development Plan (SDP), and to achieve the SDP’s Vision, Aims, Targets and Objectives. The Action Programme has been prepared by the Aberdeen City and Shire Strategic Development Planning Authority (SDPA). Actions are, however, not limited to those by the SDPA, and both Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council will have to work together and collaboratively with other agencies and stakeholders in order to ensure the SDP can be delivered. Our intention is for this Action Programme to be a working document that can be continually updated to reflect progress. More detail will be added as we move forward, and as new actions are identified, e.g. through the City Region Deal. The Action Programme will be formally published every two years, and updates will be highlighted in red. There are over 80 actions identified in this Action Programme, and numerous partners will help deliver and implement the Strategic Development Plan. The Action Programme focuses on: • Actions to deliver cross-boundary infrastructure and infrastructure of regional importance; • Actions to help deliver national developments; and, • Actions that require the input and coordination of more than one Council to deliver. For each action, the Action Programme sets out: • The name of the Partners who are to carry out the action; • The name of the Lead Partner where this is appropriate / applicable; • The broad timescale for carrying out each action; and, • Notes on progress. This Action Programme has been developed in consultation with both Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council, the Scottish Government, the key agencies, as well as other public and private stakeholders.
