Our School Aims Provide equal opportunities and inclusion strategies to foster the all-round development of every child, whilst working in positive partnership with our community partners. Encourage and enhance parents’ involvement in the partnership between home and school, to help children reach their full potential. Offer all pupils a wide range of challenging, progressive and relevant learning experiences within a safe supportive and nurturing environment which allows them to become independent learners, whilst developing skills for life, learning and work. Foster citizenship in pupils and raise their awareness of their roles and responsibilities, not only in the community but in the wider world. Ensure that school staff members work within a professional environment where they can become leaders of learning and take advantage of opportunities for further training and development in order to enhance teaching and learning, ensuring that we offer the highest quality learning experiences for all our pupils. 3 Muirtown Primary Muirtown Primary School is situated in a residential area on the north-west side of Inverness overlooking the Moray Firth. The roll at present is approximately 220, comprising of 9 classes from Primary 1 – 7 and just over 60 in the Nursery. Phase I of the building, which opened in 1976, is of semi-open plan design and comprises classroom areas, dining, medical and administrative facilities and a gymnasium which incorporates a tea-bar for community use. Phase II of the building opened in August 1980. The Nursery Class and four P1 – P3 classes are located in Phase I and the remaining five P4 - P7 classes occupy Phase II of the building along with a Library, Art/Science Room. To ensure that all children have access to a full range of learning experiences, classes are grouped as far as possible according to stages, within teaching areas, thereby providing the flexibility required to organise and instruct in the many varied activities from which the children learn. Nursery classes sit opposite Primary 1 enabling children to have a smooth transition between the rooms. Muirtown Primary School is an equal opportunities school, opposing all forms of prejudice and discrimination. We promote an understanding and respect for our pupil`s cultural identity and beliefs There are well established links with the local community and surrounding area, with a variety of activities run after school, including Multi-sports, Highland Dancing, Rainbows and Brownies. Miss Anne Gunn, Parish Assistant at Kinmylies Church is a frequent visitor to the school, running Scripture Union groups at lunchtime and delivering RME in classes and at assemblies throughout the session. Instruction is provided in Chanter and Strings. Muirtown Primary is within the Area School Group of Charleston Academy. We ensure that all pupils have a smooth transition to the Secondary by working closely with support staff at Charleston Academy during their last year at Primary. 4 STAFF Head Teacher Mrs Rita McDaid Depute Head Teacher/SfL Mrs Karen McCabe Principal Teacher Mrs Chi Meldrum Early Years Practitioners Mrs Abel, Mrs Fraser, Mrs MacIver, Miss MacKay, Miss MacRae, Mrs Strathearn, Miss Sweeney Primary 1 Miss Passmore Primary 1/2 Mrs More Primary 2 Miss MacLeod Primary 3 Miss McKay Primary 4 Miss Fuller Primary 5 Miss Whyte Primary 6M Miss MacInnes Primary 6W Miss Williams Primary 7 Mrs Meldrum Class Contact/ Management Cover Mrs Juszczak/Miss Knowles/ Mrs Treasure VISITING SPECIALISTS Strings Instruction Mr Hay Chanter Instruction Mrs McBain Music Teacher Mrs Owen Active Schools Coordinators Dagmar Borrowman, Susan Blackwood ANCILLARY STAFF FMA Mr Melrose Clerical Assistant Mrs A Maclean, Mrs Abbott Pupil Support Assistants Mrs MacIntosh, Ms Buchan, Miss Fraser Mrs McCann, Mrs MacRae, Mrs Szczodra, Miss Moffat Cook Mrs Gillies Kitchen Assistants Ms. Smeaton Mrs Stoddart Mrs Sanderson Mrs Divers Ms Gowans Cleaning Staff Mrs Dick Mrs Dyce Mr Tate Crossing Patrollers Mrs Edwards - King Brude Road Mrs Howieson - Scorguie Road School Chaplain Team Anne Gunn- Parish Assistant 5 SCHOOL DAY School Times are as follows: Nursery Class 8.15am – 3.15pm following the flexible model P1 – P3 9.00am – 12.00pm 1.15pm – 3.00pm P4 – P7 9.00am – 12.30pm 1.15pm – 3.00pm Morning break 10.30 – 10.45am It is essential that children arrive at school to begin at the appropriate times but not before 8.45am when playground supervision starts.

    Agenda 5 Item Report CIA/25/20 No HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: City of Inverness Area Committee Date: 19 November 2020 Inner Moray Firth Local Development Plan 2 - Main Issues Report Title: Report Report By: Executive Chief Officer - Infrastructure and Environment 1. PURPOSE/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report seeks approval for the Main Issues Report for the second Inner Moray Firth Local Development Plan to be published for public consultation. The Main Issues Report enclosed at Appendix 1 has been shaped by a series of appraisals, engagements and discussions outlined in Section 4 of this report. Approval of this consultation document by Committee will allow the Council to seek views on the options for addressing the main issues affecting the future of the area, and also where to direct future development, in the Inner Moray Firth area. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 Members are asked to: i. approve the Main Issues Report (as applicable to this committee area) to be published for public consultation, accepting that a number of minor presentational and typographical changes will be made prior to publication; ii. agree the approach to consultation outlined in paragraph 6.1 of this report; and iii. note the important role that the plan will play in addressing the Climate & Ecological Emergency, economic recovery, and in taking forward the Council’s agreed Indicative Regional Spatial Strategy recently submitted to Scottish Government. 3. IMPLICATIONS 3.1 Resource: Resources to complete the statutory processes are allowed for within the Service budget. 3.2 Legal and Risk: the Plan can be challenged in the courts but only on matters of process not planning judgement emphasising the need for the Council to continue to adhere to all statutory procedures throughout the Plan’s progress so that the Council will have a defensible position in the event of any challenge.
