This report has been prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements applicable to charities. GLOBAL PANDEMIC Impact on the Edinburgh Academy The Edinburgh Academy, along with the rest of the country watched the spread of COVID across the UK and the world in March 2020. The School had a few weeks of preparation to move to remote learning and teaching before the Scottish Government announced that schools would be closed from 20th March 2020 and that the certificate exams for 2020 had been cancelled and that the pupils would be graded on teacher assessments of their work. At this time the pupils in these certificate years were to be allowed into the School for 2 weeks to allow more evidence to be gathered to support their exam grades. This fast moving situation then changed again on Sunday 22 March 2020 when the Deputy First Minister made an announcement that no pupils were to attend school with immediate effect.

Disrupting place attachment has a negative impact on people’s psychological well-being and the health of their communities. Place attachment can motivate people’s engagement in civic actions to protect their beloved places from being destroyed, especially when buildings and public spaces are demolished or redeveloped in historic places. However, the UK planning and heritage sectors have made only limited attempts to understand people’s attachment to the historic environment and how it may influence planning, conservation and development that affects historic places.

I beckoned them over, Were you aware that the costs of accommodation, living and asked their names, what they had been doing at training and what they additional expenses for a typical Scottish University student had learned. As we turned to watch the senior team, I began to understand range from around £10,000 to £15,000 per child per year? That’s a large sum for parents to find, particularly if you have what it means to be a 1st XV player at Glenalmond. more than one child. These two young players proceeded to give me a running commentary. Is it possible to fund these costs in a tax efficient way? If you own shares in a private company and receive dividends They could name every player. At times an excited, “There’s Andy” or from your shares, you should consider arrangements that could “Kaleem is a great player” would be exclaimed and the young boys’ provide significant savings. questions turned to how they could improve their future performance. We can assist you in making significant savings by providing a solution. Our planning involves using a Trust, through which the dividend payments are directed. The shares are transferred into a Trust and dividends declared on those shares. By appointing an interest in the Trust’s income to your child or children, the dividends are taxed at their personal rates of tax rather than at your higher or additional rates of tax.

  • Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant
    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828.

  • SC016580 Merchiston Castle School Updated Inquiry Report
    FILE NOTE: DATE: 17 November 2011 AUTHOR: OSCR SUBJECT: REPORT UNDER SECTION 33 OF THE CHARITIES AND TRUSTEE INVESTMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 ON INQUIRY: MERCHISTON CASTLE SCHOOL (SC016580) Background As part of the Rolling Review of charities the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) undertook an inquiry into the charitable status of the Merchiston Castle School under section 28 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’). This involved a desk-based review of written materials in order to determine whether public benefit was provided by the charity. A face to face meeting was also held with the School to help gather this information. Consideration To have charitable status, bodies have to pass the ‘charity test’ as laid out in sections 7 - 8 of the 2005 Act. The charity test requires bodies to have exclusively charitable purposes, to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere, and to meet certain other conditions. Section 7 (1) (b) of the 2005 Act, provides that a body meets the charity test if - • it provides (or in the case of an applicant, provides or intends to provide) public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere Section 8 (2) (b) of the 2005 Act requires that in determining whether a body provides or intends to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere, regard must be had to – a) how any – (i) benefit gained or likely to be gained by members of the body or any other persons (other than as members of the public), and (ii) disbenefit incurred or likely to be incurred by the public, in consequence of the body exercising its functions compares with the benefit gained or likely to be gained by the public in that consequence, and b) where benefit is, or is likely to be, provided to a section of the public only, whether any condition on obtaining that benefit (including any charge or fee) is unduly restrictive.

  • 2 Merchiston Castle School
    MERCHISTON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL Director of Business / CFO INFORMATION PACK FOR CANDIDATES 2018 INFORMATION PACK MERCHISTON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL FOR DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS CANDIDATES. 1 FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL, CHRIS LYNN Our new school, Merchiston International School, opened in Shenzhen in August 2018. We attracted a great team of teaching and support staff, sharing the drive and vision of the school’s founders to establish this new venture. Opening with 176 students across Junior and Senior Schools, we anticipate healthy growth in student numbers in 2019. We are now seeking to employ a Director of Business / CFO to join our team. We need a person with a ‘roll-your-sleeves-up-and-get-elbow-deep’ attitude to their work day as the school is established. Like the team already on board, the successful person will be a dynamic soul with a pioneering heart and a collaborative spirit looking for a challenge to add zest to their vocation. If you join us at MIS, you will be part of a special founding team. The Lonely Planet Guide calls Shenzhen one of “the most incredible Chinese cities you’ll never have heard of”. This megacity, a mere 17-minute train ride just across the border from Hong Kong, is New China at its finest and most frenetic. A sleepy fishing village only a few decades ago, Shenzhen has exploded. It is now the epicentre of Southern China’s entrepreneurial spirit, a place where the world’s manufacturing, technology and financial industries draw the young, hungry and innovative from all over. As a result it is also home to some of China’s most exciting up-and-coming contemporary artists and performers.
