  • Schools Inspected up to Week Ending 1 June 2018
    Schools inspected up to week ending 1 June 2018 This data relates to local authority and grant-maintained schools in Scotland. The data records the date of the last inspection visit for schools up to the week ending 1st June 2018. Where an inspection report has not yet been published this is indicated in the data. The data relates to general inspection activity only. This means the main inspection visit that a school receives. The list of schools is based on the Scottish Government's list of schools open as of September 2016: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/School-Education/Datasets/contactdetails For those schools listed which do not have an inspection date, this is due to a number of factors, including changes to the school estate, local circumstances, or the provision being reported in another inspection unit (GME units or support units). School details (as at September 2016, Scottish Government) Date of last inspection (as at week end 01/06/2018) SEED number Local authority Centre Type School Name Primary Secondary Special Inspection date mmm-yy 5136520 Highland Local Authority Canna Primary School Primary - - May-02 6103839 Shetland Islands Local Authority Sandwick Junior High School Primary Secondary - Sep-02 6232531 Eilean Siar Local Authority Back School Primary - - Nov-02 8440549 Glasgow City Local Authority Greenview Learning Centre - - Special Sep-03 5632536 Scottish Borders Local Authority Hawick High School - Secondary - Sep-03 8325324 East Dunbartonshire Local Authority St Joseph's Primary School Primary - -

  • Cumbernauld's Bloomin' Wild 2020
    CUMBERNUALD’S BLOOMIN’ WILD 2020 Beautiful Scotland Fun for all ages © Fiona McGrevey CUMBERNAULD’S BLOOMIN’ WILD Cumbernauld Living Landscape Cumbernauld Living Landscape is improving Cumbernauld’s greenspaces for both people and wildlife, while helping everyone in the community connect with the nature on their doorstep. The initiative is a partnership between the Scottish Wildlife Trust, North Lanarkshire Council, Sanctuary Scotland, the James Hutton Institute and TCV, and is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Cumbernauld is incredibly green— more than 50% of the land is greenspace, and we believe that everyone in Cumbernauld should benefit from this now and in the future. However, these areas are often disconnected from one another and many are not as good for people – or wildlife – as they should be. Without good quality, healthy places people and wildlife cannot flourish. Working closely with the local community, we need to ensure that healthy places are at the heart of the town’s future. This is the second entry with CLL acting as the umbrella organisation for the Beautiful Scotland entry after having a year break to develop the new Creating Natural Connections project. Cumbernauld’s Bloomin’ Wild organisations, groups and schools include: Watch Us Grow Hope Community Garden Greenfaulds High School Carbrain and Hillcrest Community Council St Maurice’s High school Seafar and Ravenswood Community Council Carbrain Primary Cumbernauld YMCA Whitelees Primary Condorrat Primary St Margaret of Scotland Primary Cumbernauld Academy CUMBERNAULD’S BLOOMIN’ WILD Cumbernauld Living Landscape Creating Natural Connections (CNC) We are now 1 year into this programme that is creating positive change in our environment and communities.

    AGENDA ITEM N NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL REPORT To: LEARNING & LEISURE SERVICE Subject: CUMBERNAULD ACADEMY − COMMITTEE TRANSITIONAL REVIEW, OCTOBER 2015 From: HEAD OF EDUCATION (STANDARDS & INCLUSION) Date: 15 January 2016 Ref: IB/LF/JR 1. Purpose of Report/Introduction 1.1 The purpose of this report is to update members on the success of the merger of Cumbernauld High School and Abronhill High School, in forming Cumbernauld Academy in August 2014. 2. Background 2.1 In 2012, a consultation was launched in relation to the proposal to rationalise secondary school provision in the Cumbernauld area by amalgamating Cumbernauld High School and Abronhill High School. The proposal was that both schools should close and a new amalgamated school be located initially in the existing Cumbernauld High School building until such time as a new school was built. Issues raised in the course of the consultation were addressed in the report to Committee in February 2013, which included the recommendation that the amalgamation should be delayed by a year to allow for necessary adaptations to be made and for due care to be taken with transitional arrangements and curricular planning. This recommendation was adopted and the new school, Cumbernauld Academy, opened its doors at the start of the new session in August 2014. 3. Purpose of the Review 3.1 Concerns raised in the course of the consultation exercise included the safety of walking routes, the potential for rivalry between the two school communities, overcrowding in the Cumbernauld HS building once the schools were amalgamated, larger class sizes, and the welfare of pupils attending the Language and Communication Support Centre (LCSC).

This handbook is very much part of that, giving you information about the school and the many opportunities for young people within Kilsyth Academy. Furthermore, engagement with parents and carers is an essential aspect of our work that helps create a culture that allows each and every young person to achieve their full potential in the widest sense. Our emphasis in Kilsyth Academy is in ensuring pupils fully realise their potential. There are strong traditions of excellence in Kilsyth Academy, based on high expectations and standards.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Kilsyth
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Kilsyth The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.
