At the junction with the A986 turn and head north, signposted Harray, Dounby and Birsay. The school is on the right as you enter Dounby before the village centre. Please park in the large car park beside the school. Dounby School and Community Centre was opened in 1976 to serve the parishes of Harray, Sandwick and Birsay. In response to demand, in 2000, a large hall was added and the community and school facilities were upgraded. Accommodation and amenities are provided within the buildings and grounds for community use and we are fortunate to be able to share these facilities. The school is classed as a non-denominational 3 primary school with nursery, however since August 2017 the nursery has a nursery manager on site and is managed by an officer at School Place in Kirkwall. The school facilities include class teaching areas, a nursery, a learning support base, a small hall with a stage, a music room, an art room, a computer room, a library and a kitchen/utility room. There is also an administration block comprising reception area, headteacher’s office, janitor’s room, medical room and staff room. The community facilities include a large sports hall with changing rooms and showers, a fitness suite, games room, multi-purpose community rooms and a cafeteria facility in the reception area. All facilities have access for the disabled. The school is able to offer internet access for meetings and clubs. The shared grounds include two pitches marked out for rugby and football. There is a play park, tennis court, tarred play areas and car parking area with bus drop off/pick up points. A plan of the Dounby School and Community Centre is included at the end of this booklet.

We are not sure what restrictions will be in place when we re-open but safety, understanding, wellbeing and inclusion will be the themes that we will keep foremost in our minds. Transition into school will be a sensitive process, children will respond in different ways. We intend to enable the transition by ensuring that familiar and trusted adults are available to children, that there is space to talk and that children understand that we are happy to spend time making them feel safe and comfortable. Children will not be ready to learn unless they are assured that school is a good, safe place to be. A range of safety measures will be in place, these will include a much higher standard of hygiene and sanitation, for example, we expect to have foot pedal bins throughout the school, a small measure but one that will help control any infection. We will be following the guidance from Orkney Islands Council and from the Scottish Government and we will be teaching the children directly about safety and hygiene. We understand that children may return to, or start school with a range of knowledge of Covid-19.

    THE KIRK IN THE GARDEN OF EVIE A Thumbnail Sketch of the History of the Church in Evie Trevor G Hunt Minister of the linked Churches of Evie, Firth and Rendall, Orkney First Published by Evie Kirk Session Evie, Orkney. 1987 Republished 1996 ComPrint, Orkney 908056 Forward to the 1987 Publication This brief history was compiled for the centenary of the present Evie Church building and I am indebted to all who have helped me in this work. I am especially indebted to the Kirk’s present Session Clerk, William Wood of Aikerness, who furnished useful local information, searched through old Session Minutes, and compiled the list of ministers for Appendix 3. Alastair Marwick of Whitemire, Clerk to the Board, supplied a good deal of literature, obtained a copy of the Title Deeds, gained access to the “Kirk aboon the Hill”, and conducted a tour (even across fields in his car) to various sites. He also contributed valuable local information and I am grateful for all his support. Thanks are also due to Margaret Halcro of Lower Crowrar, Rendall, for information about her name sake, and to the Moars of Crook, Rendall, for other Halcro family details. And to Sheila Lyon (Hestwall, Sandwick), who contributed information about Margaret Halcro (of the seventeenth century!). TREVOR G HUNT Finstown Manse March 1987 Foreword to the 1996 Publication Nearly ten years on seemed a good time to make this history available again, and to use the advances in computer technology to improve its appearance and to make one or two minor corrections.. I was also anxious to include the text of the history as a page on the Evie, Firth and Rendall Churches’ Internet site for reference and, since revision was necessary to do this, it was an opportunity to republish in printed form.

    Gillian Morrison (Interim Chief Officer). Orkney Health and Care. 01856873535 extension: 2611. [email protected] Agenda Item: 11. Integration Joint Board Date of Meeting: 10 February 2021. Subject: Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21. 1. Summary 1.1. This is a whole system plan which aims to address the predicted additional pressures of winter across 2020/21 alongside the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Delivery of this plan will require strong leadership and collaborative working across the health and social care system at the most senior level to provide a focus on the additional impacts, challenges and resources required to sustain safe, effective and person centred care. 2. Purpose 2.1. The purpose of this paper is to present the Integration Joint Board with the draft Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21 for consideration and approval. 3. Recommendations The Integration Joint Board is invited to: 3.1. Approve the Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21, attached as Appendix 1 to this report. 4. Background 4.1. NHS Orkney, in common with other health boards, is expected to prepare a Winter Plan, in partnership based on national guidance and from lessons learned the previous year. 4.2. The Winter Plan, attached as Appendix 1 to this report, aims to create a set of conditions which improve resilience by building capability to absorb, respond and recover from disruptive challenges. Winter disruptions can include increased demand and activity due to seasonal flu, respiratory and circulatory illness; increased numbers of falls and trips; and wards closed to admission due to higher levels of norovirus. 4.3. Given the ongoing emergency footing and the COVID-19 pandemic, planning for this winter where there is a high likelihood of concurrent events is critical in ensuring services are best placed to meet the demands which are likely to be placed on them.
