It serves the village of Fetterangus and the immediate environs. The original building is now the Early Stages classroom and the post-war extension made provision for the senior class, the office, the staff-room, the library/GP Room, the dining-hall/gym and the toilet facilities. At the end of the Session 2011-12, 3 pupils transferred to Mintlaw Academy. The classes were arranged as follows; Primary 1-3 11 pupils Mrs. Black Primary 4-7 13 pupils Mr. Black / Mrs. Purdie The School has a current allocation of 29 hours of Pupil Support assistant time. Learning Support is provided by a member of the Mintlaw Academy SFL team. Pupils are supervised during the morning and lunch intervals. Janitorial support is in place one afternoon per week and the School is further supported by a part-time School Administrator, a Cleaner and a Catering Supervisor. School lunches are prepared at neighbouring Pitfour School and are transported for serving at Fetterangus. The School has an active Parent Council, elected from the Parent Forum at the beginning of the Session, along with the Fetterangus School Events Committee. Both encourage the involvement of parents in the work of the School. Through the Pupil Council and various sub-groups, pupils are also directly involved in the decision-making and improvement of the School. The School operates its budget in line with Aberdeenshire EL&L guidelines. Creating an ethos of achievement is central to what we do and we work hard to establish an environment in which all our pupils, staff and members of our community are able to achieve their potential and expectations. The School was inspected by HMIE in March 2004. TRANSFER TO SECONDARY SCHOOL Pupils from Fetterangus transfer to Mintlaw Academy at the end of P7. Close co-operation exists between Mintlaw Academy and all feeder schools. Pupils tackle learning programmes, devised jointly by Mintlaw Academy and the feeder primary schools, in the upper stages of primary to ensure all pupils on entry to S1 have had consistent learning opportunities. 6 VISITS OF PROSPECTIVE PARENTS Prospective parents can contact the School Office and request an appointment to come and visit the school and meet with the Head Teacher. During this visit you will get a tour of the school and have an opportunity to ask any questions and discuss any particular needs for your child(ren). Admission/Enrolment Primary Admissions New entrants to P1 are enrolled early in the calendar year for entry to school in August. This is for children who will be five on or before the school start date in the middle of August. Those whose fifth birthday is between the middle of August each year and the end of February the following year may also be admitted to primary one in August the previous year. Details of the enrolment dates are advertised in the local press by Aberdeenshire Education, Learning and Leisure Department. Further information is available at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/parentscarers/information/choosing.asp Parents of children joining the school in classes other than P1 or in the middle of a school session should contact the head teacher who will agree a start date for the child and make arrangements for the parents and child to visit the school. School Zone A map showing the school zone/catchment area can be viewed at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/local/map.asp?type=school_area&id=151085559 . Please note that children who live within the school catchment zone are automatically entitled to a place in school. Please use the zone map to check whether or not you live within the Fetterangus School catchment. If you live out with the zone, the Education (School and Placing Information) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 will allow you to seek admission to the school. The main point to note is that out of zone admissions are not guaranteed and pupils out of zone are not entitled to free transport. They are also not guaranteed a place at Mintlaw Academy and parents would need to submit a further placing request before transition to S1. Further information is available in Notes for Parents Aberdeenshire Council www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/parentscarers/information/NotesforParents2012.pdf SCHOOL DRESS The wearing of traditional school uniform is completely optional but children are encouraged to wear school sweatshirts. Clothing should be smart, to encourage the children to take a pride in their appearance but must also be practical and comfortable enough to withstand the rigours of school activities. Children should always bring a change of clothing for P.E. Where possible, all items of clothing should be labelled with the child's name. 7 Parents of children in early stages are encouraged to put a change of pants, and skirt/trousers in a clearly labelled bag that can be left in school in case of emergencies. Guidance and permission will be sought around the extent to which parents wish to be informed about such incidents and the supervision of the changing of clothing. Valuables . For security reasons, all money should be kept in a purse/wallet with a neck strap/belt or in a "bumbag" and not be removed from the child's person except for gym, when provision for safe keeping will be made available. It is not recommended that items of value be taken to school. The wearing of earrings during P.E. activities is discouraged because of the risk of injury to pupils. Children who are unable to remove earrings are required to have them taped over during P.E. sessions. Disruption can be reduced by delaying the piercing of ears until the summer holidays or until pupils are old enough to remove the earrings themselves. French café morning 8 SCHOOL MEALS It is the Authority’s policy to provide meals and facilities for the consumption of packed lunches in all schools where these are required. Attractive menu and information leaflets are provided to all Aberdeenshire school pupils and parents. These can also be found by following the link below. http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/schools/school_meals/index.asp Please make cheques payable to Aberdeenshire Council. Parents should be aware that they can request a special diet for their children if there are medical or religious reasons for doing so. Children who require Medically Prescribed or Modified Diets, with parental/guardian assistance, should be identified during the admission process. Procedures are set in motion to accommodate these diets by parent/guardian completing Admission Form D available from the school administration office. The school aims to encourage young people to enjoy food which is both attractive to them and nutritionally sound whether this is a school meal, a packed lunch or a snack. We would appreciate your support in achieving this aim. Pupils will eat in the general purpose hall under the supervision of the lunch time supervisor. Children are required to have a ticket for a school meal which can be purchased singly or in a book of ten. Tickets will be on sale each Monday morning and are valid throughout the school year. All cheques should be made payable to Aberdeenshire Council.

  • Parents/Carers From: Pauline Buchan, Rector Subject: Weekly Information Up-Date Date: Friday 28Th May 2021 ______
    ELLON ACADEMY WEEKLY INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/CARERS To: All Parents/Carers From: Pauline Buchan, Rector Subject: Weekly Information Up-date Date: Friday 28th May 2021 ___________________________________________________________________________ Quote of the Week beginning Monday 31.5.21 We have now completed week 5 of our assessment block and staff continue to be busy with marking, feedback, and moderation. As you will be aware, the Director of Education Laurence Findlay issued a letter regarding the release of Provisional Grades to pupils by Wednesday 23rd June and we are confident we will meet that deadline. Here is the letter from Mr Findlay: Dear Parent/Carer, National Qualifications 2021 Further to my letter dated 1 April 2021, and as we move toward the latter stages of assessment evidence gathering under the SQA Alternative Certificate Model, I wish to provide you with an update regarding the remaining weeks. Firstly, I am pleased to report that Aberdeenshire received extremely positive feedback on the manner in which our processes have been developed and implemented. This scrutiny activity was undertaken by Education Scotland in their National Review of the implementation of the Alternative Certificate Model. Publication of this report by Education Scotland is expected shortly. Throughout this term, while assessment evidence gathering has been ongoing, young people will have been kept informed of their progress by their teachers through learning conversations. Provisional grades based on demonstrated attainment remain subject to the completion of the relevant quality assurance processes both within and between schools which will continue into June. Once the process and all stages of determining Provisional Grades is complete, young people will be provided by their school with a collation of the grades being submitted to the SQA.

  • Projects Funded
    NorthConnect Legacy Fund Summary of Awards 2017-2020 Between 2017 and 2020, £59,907 has been awarded by the NorthConnect Legacy Fund to community groups benefiting the Fund area. Some examples showing the range of activities funded are shown below, followed by a full list of awards. Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust: Rescue boat engine In 2017, the Fund awarded Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust £1,000 towards a rescue boat engine to support activities taking place at the Trust’s Peterhead centre. The cover provided by the rescue boat meant that the Trust was able to deliver taster sessions for schools, RYA courses, race training and RYA junior sailing courses. The boat supported disabled schools sailing and weekly disability club. 538 people of various ages benefited. The vital role of the rescue boat was highlighted in an incident in September 2019, when a sudden squall caused three dinghies to capsize, throwing ten teenage sailors into the water. This prompted the emergency services to launch a large scale response, involving helicopters and lifeboats. However, the Trust’s instructors were able to use the rescue boat to get everybody quickly and safely ashore without injury or the assistance of emergency services. Following the incident, the Buchan Coastguard issued a statement saying that “This incident had the potential to be far more serious in outcome except for some key factors… We would like to thank those involved for being properly equipped.” Press and Journal; 6 September 2019; Instructors praised as 10 teens rescued from North Sea in ‘violent storms’. Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden In 2017, the Fund awarded the Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden £400 toward fencing and equipment.

  • 19Th April 2018 Dear Parents/Carers
    Our vision is to ensure all our pupils are safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included, so that each individual can be fulfilled and reach their potential within a supportive and proactive community. New Pitsligo & St John’s Primary School School Street New Pitsligo Fraserburgh Aberdeenshire AB43 6NE Tel: 01771 653232 Fax: 01771 653775 [email protected] www.newpitsligo-st-johns.aberdeenshire.sch.uk 19th April 2018 Dear Parents/Carers, We are really enjoying the sunny start to our new term. Please remember, if your child is likely to burn, please put sun cream on in the morning as we do not put sun cream on in school. Alas the warm weather may not stay and we can easily have four seasons in one day in our playground so it is a good idea to still being a coat every day. Reports: You will receive two copies of your child’s report. Please sign and return one copy to school. Safety: Please do not cut through the staff car park to come into the playground. There are cars coming in and out all day and so it is not a safe short cut. Also, parents are asked not to park in the staff car park as spaces are limited. Parents Evening: Parents evening takes place on Thursday 26th April and appointments will be issued shortly. After School Clubs: Football continues after school on Thursdays. Purple Mash computer club restarts for P4 – P7 pupils on Tuesdays from Tuesday 1st May 3pm – 4pm. Choir will begin for P3 - P7 pupils from 3pm – 3.45pm on Thursdays from Thursday 10th May.

  • Issues Raised in Response to the Proposed Local Development Plan and Proposed Submission to Scottish Ministers Appendix 2 Settlement Comments
    ISSUES RAISED IN RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PROPOSED SUBMISSION TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS APPENDIX 2 SETTLEMENT COMMENTS Shaping Buchan – Summary of Schedule 4s Minor technical changes are also proposed to improve the accuracy of information now provided by Scottish Water and SEPA (see Schedule 4 7908). “Schedule 4” documents (so named because of the requirement to follow the form specified by Schedule 4 of the relevant Regulations) have not been produced for those settlements where there have been no representations. Ardallie Main objections raised in representation Number of planned units on site OP1 should be reduced to take into account already submitted proposals. Development of site OP1 should include road upgrades. Response by Planning Authority The approved houses on site OP1 would take up part of the allocation, and no change is required. Upgrading the existing road to an adoptable standard is already required by the development brief. The section of private road heading east from site OP1 is not required to link the site to the public road network so it is not appropriate to require its upgrading. Minor technical change Remove the settlement boundary annotation (which only covers the allocated, protected and reserved sites), for consistency. Auchnagatt Main objections raised in representation Amend OP2 reference to strategic landscaping or extend site OP2 further south to the minor watercourse, so that strategic landscaping can be implemented outwith the allocated area. Response by Planning Authority The reference to strategic landscaping is only a recommendation – the most appropriate position and nature of strategic landscaping would be determined at the planning application stage.

ARCHAEOLOGY (The search for the Columban Monastery) Establishing the location of the Columban Monastery is an impor- tant element in the Project’s work. The second phase of the search was carried out on the 8th, 9th and 10th of June by members of the Glasgow University Archaeology Division, helped to a great extent by Derek Jennings. This involved examining the area of the churchyard and burial ground close to the Old Deer Parish church in a non intrusive way with ground penetrating radar (GPR) and a gradiometer, methods which can provide excellent resolution of many types of archaeological features.

However, approaches and success with SR vary widely. In some schools there are pupils using SR as their main means of writing and recording work, whereas in other schools staff have found SR difficult to implement with any success at all. The aim of the CALL Introducing Speech Recognition in Schools project was to investigate best practice in schools where speech recognition was being used successfully, and develop and evaluate training materials to help staff and students to learn to use speech recognition productively. A number of research reports and case studies on speech recognition were reviewed before designing the project: particularly, the reports from Elaine Donald at Perth High School (Donald, 1998); Martin Miles and colleagues (Miles, Martin & Owen, 1998), and in particular, the reports and case studies produced by the BECTa speech recognition project (BECTa, 2000).

Appendix 1 – Schools visited for the review Page 11 8. Appendix 2 – Schools visited as part of CIAG reviews Page 12 2 | 1. Context In June 2014, the Commission for Developing Scotland’s Young Workforce published its final report Education Working for All! In response to the report, Scottish Government and Local Government set out their Implementation Plans in Developing the Young Workforce – Scotland’s Youth Employment Strategy published in December 2014. The plans identified key themes and milestones over the seven year lifetime of the programme. In order to better prepare young people for the world of work, the report recommended that new standards for careers guidance and work experience be developed reflecting the involvement of employers and that all schools be supported by employers in long term partnerships. The following documents were published in September 2015: • The Career Education Standard 3-18 (CES): entitlements for all children and young people aged three to 18; • The Work Placement Standard (WPS): expectations for young people in the senior phase of learning; and • Guidance on School/Employer Partnerships: underpinning the delivery of the CES, the WPS and long term partnerships. The standards and the guidance were published with the understanding that Education Scotland would evaluate the impact the documents were having, in light of experience and use, by March 2017.
