Area Committee Report February Attainment and Achievement 2010 We at Oban High School believe that the school has a responsibility to ensure that all our youngsters achieve the best possible qualifications. We also believe that we need to nurture and develop their social, emotional and vocational knowledge and skills to enable them to achieve their full potential throughout their lives. Area Committee Report February Attainment and Achievement 2010 1 In January Oban High School attained the Silver Award for Investors In People 2 SQA Results 2009 School Roll • The school roll rose from 1090 (2008) to 1118 2009; an above average figure over the 5 year trend. • There are roughly the same number of boys (129) as there are girls (142) staying on into S5/S6. • The number of boys staying on into S6 was the highest figure (61) since 2005. This follows on from last year’s very high S5 staying on rate (80). Cumulative Whole School Attainment By the end of S4 • The percentage of pupils attaining combined English and Maths at Level 3 or above has continued to oscillate between 93% and 97% over the 5 year trend: 95%, 2009. • The percentage of pupils attaining 5 or more Level 3s, 4s and 5s by the end of S4 have all risen. (93% - level 3; 81% - level 4 and 37% level 5). The 5+ level 5 is the highest figure (pre- appeal) since 2002. • The girls again out-performed the boys at all levels – significantly. (Level 3 - 97% / 89%; level 4 - 89% / 74%; and level 5 - 41% / 32%). By the end of S5 • The percentage of pupils attaining 5+ at levels 3 to 6 fell this year. This is due to the ‘carry forward’ from last year’s S4 cohorts, who were the poorest attaining cohort since 1999. • However, we have arrested the extent of the decline and it is noticeable that our 5+ at level 6 figures are comparable with our 2007 results. • Also the 1+ at level 7 rose albeit 1%. Otherwise, the 3+ at level 6 fell from 26% to 18% which is disappointing. • It should be noted that many pupils have opted to sit a 2 year Higher or Int 2 this year, which obviously affects percentages reporting in S5. By end of S6 • Passes at 1+, 3 & 5+ at level 6 all increased this year; as did 1+ passes at level 7. All these passes are above the average over the 5 year trend. • Girls out performed boys in attainment at 1+ & 3+ at level 6 but not in attaining 5+ at level 6 or 1+ at level 7. 3 The Cumulative Whole School Attainment by Cohort figures show average progression lines though the designated levels 2006 – 2008 overall higher although the girls’ progression is more noticeable at 3+ level C. Use of Click and Go Click and go is now fully operational and was used extensively to track our pupil’s attainment. Tracking was updated monthly with the Guidance Teacher and Depute responsible for each year group. This meant that the Year team could quickly highlight pupils who were not achieving their potential and meet with them. The year team then would set targets for these pupils. We also issued a number of interim reports to parents throughout the year thus improving links and keeping them involved with their child’s progress. CAT Scores CAT scores were widely used in Oban High School during session 2008/2009. Every pupil was issued with a CAT score for each subject. These CAT scores were used only as an indication and bench mark for what the pupil should be achieving. Highlighted below is an indication of the CAT score predictions for the last four years. Year Prediction 5+ credits Prediction 5+ generals Prediction 5+ foundation 2009 42.3% 84.6% 96.2% 2008 32% 81% 95% 2007 46% 85% 96% 2006 39% 86% 97% Raising Attainment A proactive programme was introduced to S4 to increase attainment. Pupils not achieving their potential were allocated with school mentors. These mentors, who were normal classroom teachers, met with these pupils every three weeks to discuss action points and targets with them. We also created a number of study skills lessons which were taught in the PSEd programme. All pupils were also asked to set weekly targets with the support of their tutors – see attached sheet Hostel pupils The S4 cohort had 16 pupils attending Glencruitten Hostel. We worked closely with the hostel staff and the study teachers trying to encourage a better study and revision programme. Highlighted below is a breakdown of level awards for the S4 pupils in last year’s examination diet. Level of award No. of awards Percentage Credit awards 64 53% General awards 46 38% Foundation awards 6 4% INT 1 passes 5 100% INT 2 passes 4 100% 4 No awards 5 4% Candidates meeting their CAT scores or target grades Reached their potential Did not reach their potential 14 2 The 2 candidates who did not meet their potential missed 3 of their predicted grades. The S5 cohort had 6 pupils taking their senior school examinations. These pupils in the main did not meet their targets. This was due to a lack of motivation and little study. Level of award No. of awards INT 1 4 INT 2 13 Higher 4 No awards 9 More Choices More Chances A special programme was introduced last year for S4 pupils not engaging in school and who were in danger of becoming NEET. 12 pupils were selected for the “EXite” (Exit into Employment) programme which included pupils involved in work experience, gaining extra qualifications such as first aid at work, health and safety and EDCL. The programme also looked at how to complete application forms and interview skills. We also incorporated visits to colleges and team building exercises. At the end of the programme 8 pupils returned to school, 3 are in employment and one student has enrolled with Argyll training. No. of credit No. of No. of No awards No. of No. of INT No. of INT awards General Foundation gained access 3 1 passes 2 passes gained awards awards gained passes gained 2 29 21 3 10 10 5 No. of Pupils who met their target No. of pupils who missed their target 8 4 Looked after pupils Our looked after pupils did not perform to their potential although a number of them gained additional qualifications from being on the “preparing pupils for work” programme. Two pupils in S5 were placed on work experience and were given core skills as they were not engaging with school. Both these pupils have gone onto employment and training. 5 Every term Oban High School holds Achievement Assemblies where we recognise a variety of achievements both in and out of school. Often this recognition involves certificates, the opportunity to perform, or pictures of some activities. The following pupils were presented with certificates for the achievement categories noted below; for the period October to December 2009. These are not the only achievements that were recognised at these assemblies and copies of the full lists can be requested from the Year Heads.

  • T. F. Torrance on the Centenary of His Birth: a Biographical and Theological Synopsis with Some Personal Reminiscences
    T. F. TORRANCE ON THE CENTENARY OF HIS BIRTH: A BIOGRAPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL SYNOPSIS WITH SOME PERSONAL REMINISCENCES Thomas A. Noble, PhD Professor of Theology, Nazarene Theological Seminary Senior Research Fellow in Theology, Nazarene Theological College, Manchester [email protected] Abstract: Given as a lecture at the meeting of the T. F. Torrance Theological Fellowship on 21st November, 2013, this paper celebrates the centenary of Torrance’s birth. It begins with the world into which he was born and the ethos of the evangelical missionary movement to which his family belonged. Major aspects of his thinking are considered against his biographical background as they became prominent in the development of his theology: the Reformed tradition and his ecumenical endeavours, his profound analysis of the scientic metho of theolog in relation to the natural sciences his focus on the Incarnation and the Atonement, his engagement with the Greek Fathers, and his place in the Trinitarian revival. The review of Torrance’s thought is interspersed with personal reminiscences from several years as Torrance’s student at New College, Edinburgh in the 1970s and from later contact. To return in thought to 1913, the year in which T. F. Torrance was born, is to return to another world. The German Kaiser, the Austrian Kaiser, the Czar of all the Russias, and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire all still ruled – not to mention his Britannic Majesty, King George V, Emperor of India, presiding over the largest empire the world had ever seen. His Royal Navy dominated the oceans of the world and had been instrumental in abolishing piracy and the slave trade for ever (or so it was thought).

  • Rothesay Brass Band – Entertaining the Excursionists Fresh Off the Paddle-Steamers on the Isle of Bute
    Rothesay Brass Band – entertaining the excursionists fresh off the paddle-steamers on the Isle of Bute Gavin Holman, 24 February 2021 Rothesay is the main town on the Isle of Bute. It was a burgh of barony from an early period, and it became a Royal Burgh in 1400 by a charter from Robert III of Scotland. In the mid-1800’s it developed as a seaside resort, with all the features and facilities expected of such places. Sitting on an attractive bay, it quickly became popular with visitors from Glasgow and around, which having made the rail journey to Wemyss Bay, took one of the paddle-steamers across to Bute for their excursions to Rothesay, or perhaps they went "doon the watter" [the Clyde] with ships that went direct from Glasgow. Rothesay was also the location of one of Scotland's many hydropathic establishments during the 19th century boom years of the Hydropathy movement. The town also, later, had an electric tramway - the Rothesay and Ettrick Bay Light Railway - which stretched across the island to one of its largest beaches. As the town developed its tourist trade, the need for musical entertainment became clear, and a series of professional bands were engaged to supply this to the visitors in the summer months. In 1873 a bandstand was erected on the Esplanade (which would stand for nearly 40 years until being replaced in 1911) and bands would perform there on afternoons and evenings. The bandstand was gifted by Thomas Russell, who owned the large Saracen Iron Foundry in Glasgow, and who was born in Rothesay.

  • Evangelicalism in Modern Scotland
    EVANGELICALISM IN MODERN SCOTLAND D.W. BEBBINGTON, UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING Evangelicals can usefully be defined in terms of four characteristics. First, they are conversionist, believing that lives need to be changed by the gospel. Secondly, they are activist, holding that Christians must spread the gospel. Thirdly, they are biblicist, seeing the Bible as the authoritative source of the gospel. Fourthly, they are crucicentric in their beliefs, recognising in the atonement the focus of the gospel. Three of these four defining qualities marked Protestants in Scotland, as elsewhere, from the Reformation onwards. They were conversionist, biblicist and crucicentric. Seventeenth-century Protestants, however, were not activist in the manner of later Evangelicals. Typically they wrestled with doubts and fears about their own salvation rather than confidently announcing the way of salvation to those outside their sphere. Hence, for instance, there was a remarkable paucity of Protestant missionary work during the seventeenth century. But from the eighteenth century onwards an Evangelical movement sprang into existence in Scotland and elsewhere in the English-speaking world. Its activism marked it out from the Protestant tradition that had preceded it. Evangelicalism was a creation of the eighteenth century. The customary view of the Church of Scotland in the eighteenth century divides it into two parties. The Moderates are usually described as liberal in theology, scholarly in disposition and strongly attached to patronage. The Popular Party is held to have been conservative in theology, unfavourable to contemporary learning and opposed to patronage. Increasingly, however, it has become apparent that the model does not correspond with reality. Some ministers who were theologically conservative nevertheless favoured patronage.

  • Theology in Transposition Know His Theology Is to Know Him, and Vice Versa
    1 Who Is Thomas Forsyth Torrance? Professor Thomas Forsyth Torrance—TF to his students (to distinguish him from his brother JB), or Tom to those who knew him—was a towering figure in twentieth century theology. His prodigious literary output, translation work, edited volumes, international speaking engagements, and ecclesiastical and ecumenical endeavors cast a huge influence over theology and theologians working with him, against him, and after him. Now in the twenty-first century the impact of his work is still being felt as PhDs are completed on his work, monographs roll off the presses detailing and critiquing aspects of his theology, and societies and even entire denominations are established to disseminate central features of his thought.1 Clearly, the theology of Thomas Torrance, his method and content, continues to be of interest today, and for good reason. To introduce Torrance (1913–2007), a full biography of the man and his life is not in order. Alister McGrath has done an admirable job in providing the interested reader with an intellectual biography.2 However, given Torrance’s axiom that to know God we must know God in God’s act and being, it seems appropriate to apply the same methodology to our exploration of Torrance: to 1. I am referring specifically to the Thomas Torrance Theological Fellowship and its theological journal, , and Grace Communion International, formerly the Worldwide Church of God, Participatio which has adopted Torrance’s Trinitarian theology as the basis of its own theological trajectory. 2. Alister E. McGrath, (Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 1999). A very T. F.
