    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.

Passion Sunday 2 From Peter When I visited Ethiopia a few years ago, I was surprised to find on arriving at my hotel in Addis Ababa that the grounds of the hotel were the scene of several wedding celebrations. The hotel was surrounded by a very large garden full of greenery and, as in many other parts of the world, it was used for the wedding photographs. Now, being Ethiopia, we are not talking about (relatively) well behaved groups of relatives being marshalled into formal groups.

    NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION BEFORE 00:01 MONDAY 30 MAY 2016 The annual Bank of Scotland Seaside Town Review tracks house price movements in 59 seaside towns in Scotland. The review is based on house price data from Registers of Scotland for the period 2005 to 2015. HOUSE PRICES IN SCOTLAND’S SEASIDE TOWNS RISE BY £348 PER MONTH IN PAST DECADE The average house price in Scotland's seaside towns has grown by £348 per month since 2005, according to the latest Bank of Scotland Seaside Towns Review. Over the past decade, the average price has grown by 39%, from £108,449 to £150,210 – exceeding the 32% increase for all seaside towns in Britain. Seven of the top ten coastal towns with the biggest price increases are located in Aberdeenshire, which for much of the period has been well served by the growth in the oil and gas sector. Fraserburgh has seen the greatest level of house price growth with a rise of 139% from £63,540 in 2005 to £151,719 in 2015, equivalent to a monthly increase of £735. Macduff also recorded a doubling on average property values (102%) from £66,226 to £133,567, followed by Peterhead (95%), Cove Bay (94%) and Newtonhill (91%). (Table 1) Lerwick in the Shetlands saw the second biggest growth amongst Scottish seaside towns, rising by £81,812 to £159, 325 – an increase of 106%. Other towns outside Aberdeenshire with the largest price increases include Millport (84%) and Campbeltown (69%). A further 22 coastal towns – out of the 59 surveyed – have recorded price increases of at least 50% since 2005.

  • Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
    WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com @visitabdn | #visitABDN Film locations on the coast ITINERARY With its vast mountainous landscapes and outstanding coastlines, quaint fishing villages and fairytale castles, this part of Scotland has inspired world-famous story tellers and filmmakers. We've pulled together a two day itinerary to help you make the most of your 'stage and screen' trip to Aberdeenshire: Portsoy - Whisky Galore! (2016) Portsoy is a popular village thanks to its vibrant trademark boat festival and picturesque 17th century harbour, but that's not all. In 2016, Whisky Galore! was filmed on location in Portsoy. The film tells the true story of an incident that took place on the island of Eriskay when the SS Politician ran aground with a cargo including 28,000 cases of malt whisky starring James Cosmo and Eddie Izzard. Pennan - Whisky Galore! (2016) & Local Hero (1983) Whisky Galore! also filmed along the coastline in Pennan too and this wasn't the first time Pennan has shot to fame. Local Hero starring Burt Lancaster and Peter Capaldi, tells the story of an American oil executive who is sent to a remote Scottish village to acquire the village to convert it into a refinery. The film was filmed in Pennan and Banff and the red phonebox is one of the most famous in the world and can still be found in Pennan. Slains Castle - The Crown (2016 - ) & Dracula (1897) No trip to Aberdeenshire would be complete for fans of the Netflix show The Crown without a trip to Slains Castle on the coast of Cruden Bay.
