  • Homes Near Top Scottish Schools Command £73K Price Premium
    NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION BEFORE SATURDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2018 HOMES NEAR TOP SCOTTISH SCHOOLS COMMAND £73K PRICE PREMIUM Parents pay a premium of almost £73,000 (36%) on average compared to average house prices across Scotland Average property prices have reached £277,134 near Scotland’s top 20 state secondary schools Parents need to pay an average of £72,973 more to live in the catchment area of a top performing state secondary school in Scotland, according to new research from Bank of Scotland showing that average prices in these areas have now reached £277,134. Home buyers are paying, on average, a premium of over a third (36%) when compared to houses in surrounding areas (£204,162). This is a significantly higher premium than last year, when the top 20 Scottish state schools were commanding a comparatively smaller premium of £41,441 on average or 22% more than other properties within the same local authority. This difference is due to a change in the mix of schools in the top 20 in the past year – with a number of new schools in relatively more expensive areas in the latest survey. New entrants such as Hyndland Secondary School in Glasgow and James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh have driven up the average premium costing an average of 76% and 69% respectively than other homes in the same local authorities – topping the table in first and second position as the most expensive school catchments. There are six new entrants to the top 20 schools this year, all of which fall within the top 10 most expensive school catchments.

Policies and plans with a thematic link to the General Equality Duty such as the Council’s Gaelic Plan and Accessible Information Policy have been updated on the website as and when available. 2015 Action: Assessments are carried out on the accessibility of all Council premises and information stored centrally 2017 Progress Update: The Council continued its partnership with DisabledGo. In 2015 100 key access reviews venues were added to the online access guide for East Dunbartonshire and in 2016 25 detailed access guides were added. These additions were a mixture of Council and privately owned venues. All new venues were visited and assessed by a surveyor using a research template developed by disabled people. Surveyors spoke with a member of staff at each venue letting them know about the project and the process of creating a guide to their venue. This process raised awareness of access issues and all new venues were given access to free disability equality training manuals. 2015 Action: Frontline staff receive up to date training on the use of sensory aids and arranging alternative formats 2017 Progress Update: All of our Customer Service Operations employees have received equality training through a corporate induction course.

  • Boclair News
    Boclair Academy www.boclair.e-dunbarton.sch.uk Boclair News MARCH 2017 Dear Parent / Guardian Welcome to our March edition of Boclair News. Yet again it has been a busy few weeks for our young people and staff and it is set to get busier over the coming weeks as we approach the exam period for senior pupils. At the start of January our Senior pupils undertook Preliminary Examinations across all subjects. While there were some disappointments for individuals the overall performance of the year groups involved was extremely positive. A lot of hard work is now required from all young people in S4, S5 and S6 in order to ensure they build on their current performance levels. Final presentation levels for all pupils in the senior phase have been issued to parents and I would encourage you to contact your child‘s guidance teacher if there are issues with the levels. I would also remind you that revision classes will run for most subjects on the first four mornings of the Spring Holiday. It has also been a busy period for S3 pupils who have completed S3 assessments across their nine subjects in the lead up to course planning. This is the first year young people have been able to make changes at the end of S3 and all pupils have engaged well with the process. At the same time they have been contributing well to the wider life of the school through extracurricular events. Their energy levels, enthusiasm and commitment are to be commended at this busy time.

  • Roll Projections
    Roll Projections for Secondary Schools in Bearsden and Milngavie The roll projections include an allowance for known housing development and trends in placing requests e.g the number of placing requests out of the catchment. They are not calculated using actual addresses. It is important to be clear the roll projections below are based on analysis of population data, interpreted through current trends. Should there be changes to current trends – e.g. changes in behaviour around placing requests, unforeseen changes in demographics, other major disruptions to families’ behaviours – this will not be accounted for in the projections, and they will not be accurate. It is also important the projections are not taken to be exact predictions. They are intended to provide a guide to likely levels of school population, and we would expect them to be correct in terms of the likely direction of travel, but not to provide accurate specific numbers. These transfer intake figures include St Nicholas Primary as well as associated primary schools; Bearsden Academy: the S1 intake is capped at 210 ; Transfer School Year Intake Bearsden Academy 2020 194 Bearsden Academy 2021 195 Bearsden Academy 2022 171 Bearsden Academy 2023 165 Bearsden Academy 2024 177 Bearsden Academy 2025 163 Boclair Academy : the S1 intake is capped at 180; Transfer School Year Intake Boclair Academy 2020 119 Boclair Academy 2021 113 Boclair Academy 2022 124 Boclair Academy 2023 128 Boclair Academy 2024 124 Boclair Academy 2025 120 Douglas Academy :the S1 intake is capped at 180; Transfer School Year Intake Douglas Academy 2020 143 Douglas Academy 2021 127 Douglas Academy 2022 155 Douglas Academy 2023 142 Douglas Academy 2024 144 Douglas Academy 2025 154 Projected intake into S1 for Bearsden and Milngavie schools for Session 2020: This has been done by analysing addresses for the current Primary 7 pupils with an address in the catchment.
