Above all, we work to ensure students are happy, safe and achieving. This prospectus is intended to provide parents and students with a brief introduction to Hazlehead Academy. It is likely to give you most of what you need to understand how the school operates and something of the heart of the school. The prospectus is complemented by other documents which relate to particular Year Groups and which give more information concerning these Year Groups. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me. Similarly if you require any Aberdeen City Council Policies, I can source these for you. The Hazlehead Academy community comprises students, former students, parents, staff, associated primary schools, employers and others who have an interest in the development of young people here. That development will be more effective if we are all working in partnership and are supportive of one another as we strive to achieve the stated purposes of the school. I hope that your association with the school will be a happy and successful one. I look forward to working with you. Mark Jones Acting Head Teacher 1 INTRODUCTION TO HAZLEHEAD ACADEMY Hazlehead Academy moved in 1969 to its present location and became the six-year comprehensive school for the areas of Hazlehead and Mannofield. Later its catchment was extended to include Summerhill, South Sheddocksley and Mastrick. The Academy has four officially associated primary schools – Hazlehead, Airyhall, Fernielea and Kingsford, however through Parents’ Charter legislation currently 40% of the school’s annual intake comes from outwith the designated zone and fifteen to twenty primary schools may be represented within any year group. In addition Hazlehead Academy houses the Gaelic Unit for Aberdeen’s secondary pupils and it therefore receives pupils from the Primary Gaelic Medium Unit at Gilcomstoun School. Moreover, it is one of seven Scottish Football Association (SFA) Performance schools, receiving pupils from Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire. These initiatives highlight our innovative and ambitious outlook for Hazlehead Academy. The school roll normally sits around the 850 mark. We have an inclusive approach to Pupil Support where many pupils are supported by specialist staff in class or within our Pupil Support Faculty. Currently there are 67 full time equivalent teaching staff. The school is managed by a Senior Management Team of 5 (Head Teacher, 4 Depute Head Teachers), 10 Faculty Principal Teachers, 4 Principal Teachers of Guidance and 1 Principal Teacher of Pupil Support. We have a team of 29 non-teaching support staff. This includes a team of 11 Pupil Support Assistants (PSA’s). THE HAZLEHEAD ACADEMY WEBSITE The Hazlehead Academy website can be found at http://hazleheadacy.aberdeen.sch.uk/ The school website contains all the most up-to-date information for parents and pupils. All information issued to parents is also posted on the website so that it can be immediately accessed. News about the school and its pupils is also updated regularly. 2 ASSOCIATED PRIMARY SCHOOLS Our four feeder primary schools are: AIRYHALL SCHOOL Head Teacher : Braeside Place Mrs Alison Thomson Aberdeen AB15 7TX Tel: 01224 313953 FERNIELEA SCHOOL Head Teacher : Stronsay Place Mrs Sarah Webb Aberdeen AB15 6HD Tel: 01224 318533 HAZLEHEAD SCHOOL Head Teacher : Provost Graham Drive Mrs Barbara Jones Aberdeen AB15 8HB Tel: 01224 498120 KINGSFORD SCHOOL Head Teacher : Kingsford Road Mrs Audrey Walker Aberdeen AB16 6PQ Tel: 01224 693554 Gilcomstoun School – Gaelic Unit Pupils who have been part of the Gaelic Unit at Gilcomstoun can transfer to Hazlehead Academy as the secondary school in Aberdeen which offers Gaelic as part of the curriculum.

ENROLMENT PROCEDURE Any parent wishing to enrol their son/daughter should contact Placing Requests at Aberdeen City Council. 3 CORE VALUES The Hazlehead Academy Crest carries the motto Ad Altiora Tendo, translated as I strive toward higher things.

This process is being facilitated by the Senior Prefect Team and has included the following activity:- Setting up a student led Core Values Working Group. Carrying out workshops with all those involved with the Hazlehead Academy community; students, parents, staff, partners and ASG primary schools. Encouraging every member of the school community to participate in an online survey to select our new Core Values. Convening a working group to design and create the graphic representation of these Core Values. When agreed, the Hazlehead Academy Core Values will help to determine the full range of activity in the school. Adapting the Core Values statement from global energy firm Wood Group:- “Our Core Values are at the heart of our school. They define who we are, how we work, what we believe in and what we stand for. These Values guide how we act and how we expect to be treated, providing a sound basis for decisions.” GROUND RULES Arrive quietly, on time and ready to learn.

    Bucksburn Academy School Newsletter March 2017 Bucksburn Academy Win 2017 Schools Biodiversity Award We recently found out that we have won the North East Scotland Schools Biodiversity Award. We were nominated for the breadth of work we have done with our students in this area, such as the number of people in the school community who have gained John Muir awards, joint environmental projects in the local area and further afield with a number of partners and the international projects on promoting sustainability we have been involved in. Ms Shanley and some students will be attending the North East Scotland Biodiversity Partnership Conference to take part in the day and receive this award. Stavanger Visit In February a group of 16 students and 2 staff took part in a 4 day study visit to a partner school, St Olav’s in Stavanger, Norway. During a packed programme they were able to find out more about how Science is delivered at the school, approaches to enabling people in Norway to live a more sustainable lifestyle and to continue to share Scottish and Norwegian culture and lifestyles. This visit followed a similar visit earlier in the session where we welcomed the group from St Olav’s to Bucksburn Academy. P7 Transition Visit On 28 February we were delighted to welcome all the P7 students from our ASG Primary Schools for their first transition day. During a very busy day the students were involved in activities to support the development of skills they will need for successful learning at Bucksburn Academy in S1.

    Aldi Stores Ltd Hazlehead, Countesswells Road Hazlehead Consultation Frequently Asked Questions This document will be updated following the consultation event with any questions asked at that event not included below. It supplements the information which is contained on the display boards, also available on the website. 01/07/2020 - This Q+A has been updated following submission of the formal application. Any changes are identified by red text. The proposals 1. What are the proposals? Aldi have applied for detailed planning permission for the erection of a new discount foodstore, parking, access, landscaping and associated works. The current Aldi proposal is for a small local scale foodstore with a gross floorspace of 1,868sqm (21,463 sqft) gross / 1,315 sqm (14,154 sqft) net foodstore, with 101 parking bays. 2. What type of planning application has been submitted?

Due to the size of the proposals, the scheme is only a ‘local’ scale development in terms of the planning regulations. As a result, there is no statutory need to undertake pre-application consultation. The consultation that was undertaken is therefore a voluntary undertaking by Aldi to ensure that the local community is appropriately informed of the facts concerning their proposals and could make comments to help inform the final scheme, before they are lodged with the Council.

  • SPTC 2012 Annual Report
    2012 Convener’s Report – Jeanna Brady Reflections on SPTC’s 64th Year Change continues to be the watchword for Scottish education and for SPTC too! As Vice-Convener of SPTC, I have encountered significant change as I found myself stepping into the shoes of our Convener, Kate Cunningham, who began long-term sick leave in the summer of 2011. Kate stood down late in the year but I am pleased to report she has made a good recovery and everyone at SPTC wishes her well. The pace of change at SPTC has continued unabated over this last financial year. Our target is SPTC’s long term financial sustainability, while strengthening the organisation’s services to parents and carers across Scotland. Parents and carers see SPTC as both independent and knowledgeable, something this year’s survey of our members has confirmed to us (more of that later). Members also told us how much they value the advice and practical support we provide. Membership is the backbone of our organisation: as our only source of funding, membership fees are vitally important if we are to continue in this unique role. The new three-year membership model for local authorities, which includes support time from SPTC for parent groups, continues to grow in popularity, as does the range of information and training sessions our team is able to offer. This financial year we worked face-to-face with in excess of 450 parents and carers in local authority areas from Moray and Aberdeenshire in the north, to North Ayrshire and Scottish Borders in the south – and many points in between.
