The roll was then around the sixty mark. In the nineteen forties, following the closure of Strathaird Side School in 1947, the catchment area was extended to include Drinan village and Strathaird Estate. During the nineteen seventies, the school roll was around 26, and two teachers were in employment. The school roll then gradually decreased, and the school reverted to being a one-teacher school. The Head Teacher for 38 years until November 1989 was Mrs Lexy MacKinnon. When she retired, Mrs Pat Anderson became Head Teacher with a school roll of 5 pupils, and taught until her own retirement in August 2010. The current Head Teacher is Mrs Jennifer Maclean. There are 8 pupils; with a teaching Head Teacher, 0.4 class teacher (who provides the Head Teacher’s management cover) and an Early Years Practitioner who works with the 2 Nursery pupils. You can contact the school by telephone, e-mail ([email protected]) or through our website. https://elgolprimary.wordpress.com/ 3 VISION AND VALUES Elgol Primary School is a welcoming, nurturing, inspiring and fun place to learn. Our commitment to our Golden Rules ensures that all within our school community feel respected, safe, valued and included. We work in partnership with parents and the wider community to ensure our pupils experience a broad, engaging, challenging and relevant curriculum that fosters an appreciation for life-long learning, a strong sense of health and wellbeing, pride in their history and culture, understanding of diversity and the wider World and a dedication to an environmentally sustainable lifestyle. All learners feel supported and encouraged to do their best; they are committed to school improvement and high levels of attainment and achievement. Our pupils actively contribute to the life and work of the school by participating in decision making, exercising responsibilities and acting as leaders and role models. Through these experiences, they grow in confidence, become team players and develop personal and communication skills that effectively prepare them for a future beyond our small, rural primary school. Written in collaboration with pupils, staff and parents June 2013 4 GOLDEN RULES Do be gentle – don’t hurt anybody Do be kind – don’t hurt people’s feelings Do be honest – don’t cover up the truth Do work hard – don’t waste time (yours or anybody else’s) Do listen – don’t interrupt Do look after property – don’t damage it Play the game – and “play fair” Updated August 2013 ELGOL PRIMARY’S ECO-CODE We will clean the beach at least 4 times a year We will reuse paper, card and envelopes We will encourage our families to recycle We will compost our food and garden waste We will feed the birds in winter We will switch off lights when they are not needed We will not drop litter, and if we see litter we will pick it up even if it is not ours We will encourage walking and cycling and sharing transport wherever possible Reviewed by Elgol Eco Committee, January 2016 5 ORGANISATION OF THE SCHOOL DAY School opens 8.45 am Teaching begins 9.00 am Interval 10.30 – 10.45 am Lunch P1-3: 12.15 – 1.05 pm; P4-7: 12.15 – 1.15 pm Dismissal Primary 1 – 3 : 2.35 pm Primary 4 – 7 : 3.15 pm Information regarding school holidays and term dates can be found at http://www.highland.gov.uk/downloads/file/15573/highland_school_calendar_2016_to_20 17 AFTER SCHOOL & LUNCHTIME ACTIVITIES Pupils have the following opportunities: After School Club on Mondays– variety of activities run by members of the community or parents Highland Dancing on Tuesdays after school Shinty at lunchtime (weekly) PUPIL COUNCIL / ECO SCHOOLS COMMITTEE Pupils have the opportunity to serve on our Pupil Council and Eco Schools Committee.

Early primary pupils are given homework or home packs which help to reinforce the work being undertaken at school. 6 CURRICULUM The development and design of our school curriculum is based on the principles and capacities of a Curriculum for Excellence, as outlined below. More information about a Curriculum for Excellence is available on the website. http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/thecurriculum/whatiscurriculumforexcellence/index.asp The following policy statements outline briefly the main curricular areas, and should parents require further details, the full policies may be obtained from the school. Language and Literacy Language and literacy are central to children’s learning and permeates all areas of the curriculum. The school builds on the language and literacy experiences which children have acquired in the home/pre-school environment, and recognises that children’s language will vary accordingly. 7 The school aims to develop children’s language skills in order that they may realise their full potential to aid children through language in their personal, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic and moral development to assist them in forming a positive attitude towards their own language development. The school must therefore provide a variety of experiences whereby children will become aware of the importance of language develop communication skills derive pleasure from their own use of language develop an appreciation of the language of others, especially those who are bilingual enjoy

The group stayed in Inveraray and included a number of NOSAS members who enjoyed the usual well researched sites and excellent evening talks. The first site was a Neolithic chambered cairn in Crarae Gardens. This cairn was excavated in the 1950s when it was discovered to contain inhumations and cremation burials. The chamber is divided into three sections by two septal slabs with the largest section at the rear. The next site was Arichonan township which overlooks Caol Scotnish, an inlet of Loch Sween, and which was cleared in 1848 though there were still some households listed in the 1851 census. Chambered cairn Marion Ruscoe Later maps indicate some roofed buildings as late as 1898.

MACCULLOCH EDINBURGH AND LONDON OLIPHANT ANDERSON & FERRIER 1905 Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, I would see them before I die ! But I'd rather not see any one of the three, 'Plan be exiled for ever from Skye ! " Lovest thou mountains great, Peaks to the clouds that soar, Corrie and fell where eagles dwell, And cataracts dash evermore? Lovest thou green grassy glades. By the sunshine sweetly kist, Murmuring waves, and echoing caves? Then go to the Isle of Mist." Sheriff Nicolson. DA 15 To MACLEOD OF MACLEOD, C.M.G. Dear MacLeod, It is fitting that I should dedicate this book to you. You have been interested in its making and in its publica- tion, and how fiattering that is to an author s vanity / And what chief is there who is so beloved of his clansmen all over the world as you, or whose fiame is such a household word in dear old Skye as is yours ? A book about Skye should recognise these things, and so I inscribe your name on this page. Your Sincere Friend, THE A UTHOR. 8G54S7 EXILED FROM SKYE. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are bhie and high, But the clouds hang- grey and lowering O'er the misty Isle of Skye. I hear the blue-bird singing, And the starling's mellow cry, But t4eve the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye.

The hills themselves may be red and rounded (the Red Cuillin between Glamaig and Marsco) or black and jagged (Bla Bheinn and its Strathaird satellites), and there’s also white limestone that outcrops and is Torrin was acquired by the quarried at Torrin.
