Who are we? 4 In line with of our Articles of Association the position of Chair changed at our Annual General meeting in November 2015 from an Independent Director to a How well did we do? 10 Partner Director. Scott Hill our previous Chair, therefore stepped down and I would like to record the Board’s thanks for his service over the last five years. Review of the year 14 Since EDLCT was established in 2011 there have been a number of key achievements and it is worth detailing some of these successes. Over our five The way forward 38 years of trading I am delighted to highlight the following: Financial review 40 > Provided savings of £700,000 to East Dunbartonshire Council for the operation of Leisure and Culture services > Increased revenue from our gym facilities by 46.9% since the inception of Summary financial statement 41 the Trust > Invested in refurbishment works at facilities totalling over £1.2m Balance sheet and cash flow statement 42 > Successful funding bids in Partnership with the Council of £1,068,000 > Increased turnover by over 9.7%. Our Health and fitness facilities and programme continues to do well with increased income and membership despite the challenging economic climate and the continued growth of low cost budget facilities from competitors. Whilst income and attendance levels have remained relatively strong it is essential that EDLCT is able to adapt to the changing market to maintain and grow business levels across a range of services. Major capital developments commenced in early 2016 and these will add to the portfolio of services offered by EDLCT. These developments include Kirkintilloch Town Hall, Kilmardinny Arts Centre, new library provision at Bearsden Community Hub and finally Huntershill Community Sports Hub. All of these developments will enhance what we offer to East Dunbartonshire Council residents with increased opportunities for learning and physical activity. Strong partnerships have always contributed to the successful operation of EDLCT. We will continue to work with our key partner East Dunbartonshire Council and a wide range of other partners to invest in and improve the quality of Leisure and Culture provision across the area. I would like to thank my fellow Trustees for their contribution throughout the year and their commitment in ensuring the continued success of EDLCT. I would also like to thank the Management Team and all our employees for their hard work that has ensured the delivery of quality services to our customers. Finally a special thanks to East Dunbartonshire Council and their employees for their continued support which has made a major contribution to the delivery of the Trust’s activities over the last year which has helped improve the lives and well being of East Dunbartonshire Council residents.

  • Consultation Report on Secondary Catchment Lennoxtown Primary
    EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL: EDUCATION SERVICE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SECONDARY TRANSFER ARRANGEMENTS FOR CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN THE CATCHMENT AREA OF LENNOXTOWN PRIMARY SCHOOL SEPTEMBER 2019 1.0 Background 1.1 East Dunbartonshire’s current school provision and arrangements for Primary 7 to S1 transfer arrangements are underpinned by legislative requirements in the Education (Scotland) Act 1980. This requires the Council to: i. ensure effective management of their school estate and provide sufficient places for their pupil population; ii. adhere to the general principle that children should be educated in line with their parents’ wishes; iii. ensure that all admissions must comply with class size legislation and national staffing agreements. 1.2 Children who live in the catchment area of Lennoxtown Primary School, in Lennoxtown and the catchment area of Craighead Primary School in Milton of Campsie are zoned to St Ninian’s High School in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire and to Kilsyth Academy in North Lanarkshire. When transferring to secondary education, parents can choose to send their child to either school as a catchment pupil. This arrangement has been in place since 1997 as a legacy of regional councils and is common across local authorities. 1.3 St Ninian’s High School has an overall capacity of 850 and in order to manage this effectively the S1 roll is capped at 150. 2.0 Present Position 2.1 In the last three years, there has been a significant increase in the number of pupils opting to transfer to St Ninian’s High School Pupils from Lennoxtown have opted to go to Kilsyth Academy or to make placing requests to other schools within East Dunbartonshire; only a small number have transferred to St Ninian’s High School.
