  • Trinity Academy Parent Update Dec 2018
    Trinity Academy Wave 4 Replacement Project Update for Parents Background The focus of the Wave 4 Infrastructure Investment Programme is the replacement of seven secondary schools throughout the city which have not benefitted from any investment through the PPP1, PPP2 or Wave 3 investment programmes. The schools are Balerno High School, Castlebrae High School, Currie High School, Leith Academy, Liberton High School, Trinity Academy and Wester Hailes Education Centre (WHEC). In a report to the Education, Children and Families Committee on the 22 May 2018 the following criteria were noted as being those on which future infrastructure investment in secondary schools would be prioritised through the Wave 4 programme: Any existing building structure identified as having a short life expectancy would be top priority. Any existing building where core facilities do not support the necessary size of the expected future school roll would be a high priority. Priority for any remaining schools would be determined based on the combined condition and suitability scores. A further report to the Education, Children and Families Committee on 21 June 2018 provided the results of the prioritisation process and the Committee approved the following recommendations to: Agree that the current wave 4 capital allocation of £25m is aligned to delivery of the Castlebrae High School replacement and Bangholm sports facility (Trinity Academy) projects. Agree that a report is submitted to the Finance and Resources Committee which will include details of the capital and revenue implications of proceeding with the delivery of the Castlebrae High School replacement and Bangholm sports facility (Trinity Academy) projects. Agree that the report to Finance and Resources Committee also includes detailed business cases for all of the other projects identified so that consideration can be given to how these projects could be funded in the future.

  • Annual Review 2018 – 19
    ANNUAL REVIEW 2018 – 19 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela - 2 Foreword… 2018-19 was a year of self-reflection for the Active Schools team, having completed the Insights Personality test. Understanding others and appreciating our differences was one of the key learnings. This programme helped us build valuable working relationships and a network of partners, allowing Active Schools to make the impact they have made this year. The Active Schools team continue to work with and nurture senior pupils who officiate, coach, organise competitions, become Young Ambassadors who are our decision makers. Gaining relevant sports qualifications and valuable experience in delivery, the young people are able to Jude Salmon develop their employability skills. Active Schools Manager In today’s world we are affected by factors including stress, mental health, obesity and poverty. Taking part in sport and physical activity truly does make a difference to our lives and I hope that some of the stories you are about to read will illustrate this to you. The phrase, ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ says it all. Our bodies were designed to move and when we keep them healthy, we have a better outlook on life, and on learning. The most wonderful part of keeping fit and healthy is that it is fun, but as this annual review shows, it can also open doors into future careers through volunteering and coaching.

    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).

  • The New Portobello High School and New St John's RC Primary School
    Item no Report no The New Portobello High School and New St John’s RC Primary School The City of Edinburgh Council 25 October 2012 1 Purpose of Report 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the project to build the New Portobello High School and, more specifically, to: • advise on the outcome of the recent appeal to the Inner House of the Court of Session; • consider the legal options that might secure part of Portobello Park as the site for the new school; • consider what alternative site options are available in the event that building the new school on part of Portobello Park does not, ultimately, prove to be possible; • consider the delivery of a new St John’s RC Primary School; and • seek approval for the proposed next steps. 2 Summary 2.1 In December 2006 Council approved Portobello Park as the location for the new Portobello High School and in December 2008 approved the project to replace the school as the first priority in the Wave 3 programme. The funding for the project is in place, planning permission granted and a principal construction contractor approved. In April 2012 Council formally approved the appropriation of the land at Portobello Park as the site of the new school having previously intimated its intention to do so. 2.2 Since the project was first approved by Council the threat of legal challenge has existed. A Petition for Judicial Review was lodged in the Court of Session in August 2011 on behalf of a local action group, Portobello Park Action Group (PPAG), challenging the Council’s legal right to use part of Portobello Park as the site for the new school.
