  • Annual Report
    Annual Report 2020 - 2021 01 Chairman's Report It has been a year dominated by the impact of Covid-19 and while this has had a devastating impact on our Learning Hubs and face-to-face tutoring it has created opportunities for the organisation to develop different approaches to almost everything we do. Not only have we developed our online tutoring offering, we have also introduced new recruitment, tutor training and support procedures that have proved to be much more effective than our previous classroom-based sessions. One thing is clear, when the Covid-19 pandemic recedes, as I am sure it will, we will be in a position to offer a new range of tutoring and support based online as well as our traditional one-to-one face-to- face. In January 2021 the Board approved our “Framework for Expansion” setting out how the organisation can develop throughout Scotland. As a result, we have now expanded outside the Glasgow area and have pilot projects in Inverclyde, Edinburgh and Perth & Kinross. In parallel with these innovations has been a developing staff structure designed to be capable of responding to the requirements of a growing organisation. One innovation has been the creation of a Digital Coordinator post. The key function of this post is to have a core of expertise covering the many software packages we now use so that staff are not constantly re-learning skills and techniques from scratch. I would like to welcome Lewis Gavin who has been promoted to the post from being a Learning Communities Coordinator.

    St. Ninian's High School win the Cricket Factory Cup [posted 26/08/16] Tim Hart writes, "The was again success for the west region in the Cricket Factory Cup – with the cup returning to west for the third time in three years. On Finals Day, hosted at the picturesque Doo’cot Park ground in Perth, the west region was represented by St. Ninian's High School ("St. Ninian's") and Woodfarm High School ("Woodfarm") (both from East Renfrewshire). And the closest match of the day would feature these two west schools – with Woodfarm being ahead with two deliveries to go before losing a wicket (run out) which resulted in St. Ninian's winning by 2 runs! "From there, St. Ninian's went on to complete a 'clean sweep' on the day, winning all four of their matches – and in so doing becoming the 2016 Cricket Factory Cup winners. Congratulations to the schools, their players and their coaching staff." Cricket Scotland National Secondary Schools Cup update [posted 08/06/16] Tim Hart writes, "The final of the west regional qualifying section in the Cricket Scotland National Secondary Schools Cup took place this morning. With Holyrood Secondary School ('Holyrood') being the 'home' team, the tie was played at Titwood (Clydesdale CC) – but it would be the visitors, Wellington School ('Wellington'), who would be left celebrating! Batting first, Richie Simpson (Ayr CC) claimed the key wicket of Holyrood skipper Jawad Khan (Clydesdale), bowled, for just 14.
