Ullapool High School ULLAPOOL HIGH SCHOOL PROSPECTUS 2021 / 2022 Headteacher Mr Robbie McFedries Mill Street Telephone (01854) 612078 ULLAPOOL Fax (01854) 612793 Ross-shire Email [email protected] IV26 2UN www.ullapoolhigh.highland.sch.uk Please ask for/Foighnich airson: Robbie McFedries Direct Dial/Aireamh Fon: 01854 612078 E-mail/Post-d: [email protected] Your Ref: Our Ref: Date/Ceann-la: 30th November 2020 Dear Parents, I hope that our Prospectus will provide you with essential information about Ullapool High School which will make your child’s stay in our school happy and educationally profitable. Our aims in Ullapool High School are to treat each pupil as an individual and to provide a caring and friendly environment in which every child will be encouraged to develop skills and abilities which will enable them to cope with the requirements of an ever changing world. In 2017 pupils, parents and staff completed a year-long exploration of the values important to us which resulted in the new school badge, above. We are proud of this and try hard to live up to it. There is no doubt that being at school is hard work and any pupil entering Ullapool High School should be prepared to give their best at all times, otherwise the wide range of opportunity will pass them by. To make sure that every pupil’s potential is fully developed, a whole range of factors must be right for them. It is my responsibility to ensure that the learning environment within the school best suits the needs of every pupil. To be fully effective a working partnership must exist between parent, child and school with each having full confidence in the other. We must listen carefully to the community which we serve. The Parent Council serves as a link between the school and parents and is always pleased to hear of any ideas or concerns. A pupil council exists so that ideas generated by pupils and staff can be discussed. Good communication is essential if the full potential of all involved is to be achieved. Despite the considerable changes that have and are taking place in education, and our own local changes, we continue to provide an education that is appreciated by the vast majority. We are not complacent however and must continue to evaluate the service we provide and improve it accordingly. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, regarding the prospectus or school life in general, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone, letter or email, either via the above address or through the website contacts, http://www.ullapoolhigh.highland.sch.uk/contacts. Please keep this Prospectus to hand while your child is in Ullapool High School as I am sure it will answer some of the questions which will arise during the coming years. The most recent version will always be available on the school website, http://www.ullapoolhigh.highland.sch.uk/news/news.html. Yours sincerely, ROBBIE McFEDRIES Headteacher Ullapool High School The current pandemic has affected the normal running of schools in many ways. This Handbook reflects the way the school usually runs but does not cover all of the changes that we have made because of the pandemic. Our arrangements have changed in many ways this session, and may well change again, depending on how the pandemic develops. For the most up-to-date information about any aspect of the work of the school, please contact the school and we will be able to tell you about our current arrangements. For the latest information about how the pandemic affects children, young people and families across Scotland, please visit the Scottish Government website, which has helpful information about Coronavirus and its impact on education and children. As you will be aware, there have been changes to the way the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) is planning to provide certification for young people in the Senior Phase. School staff are currently working on changes to course content and approaches to assessment, and all of the relevant details about this will be included in next session’s Handbook. Meanwhile, further information can be found on the SQA website ( www.sqa.org.uk), which includes a section of advice for candidates and families Data Protection – any information you have supplied or any information gathered from or about pupils will be used only for the purpose for which it was provided and any relevant procedures following from this. This data will be maintained in accordance with the Act and will not be passed onto any other organisation without your prior approval unless this is a legal requirement.

  • THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Sutherland County
    Agenda Item 4. Report SCC/12/21 No THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Sutherland County Committee Date: 16 August 2021 Report Title: North West 2045 Our Future Our Choice Report By: ECO Communities and Place 1. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report provides background to the North West 2045 project and the development of a long-term vision for north west Highland – “North West 2045 Our Future Our Choice”. The report proposes that the Vision is adopted by Sutherland County Committee and outlines how Highland Council, its partners and communities can contribute to and work towards achieving the Vision. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to: i. Adopt the NW2045 Vision “North West 2045 Our Future Our Choice” ii. Note the development of a Regional Land Use Partnership pilot in NW Sutherland 3. Implications 3.1 Resource implications There are no direct resource implications of the Sutherland County Committee adopting the NW2045 Vision. Although Highland Council support for initiatives outlined in the vision may have resource implications in the future, these would be subject to appropriate Committee or service decision making. 3.2 Legal implications There are no legal implications rising from the adoption of the NW2045 Vision, which is a commitment to support the vision. It is not a legally binding contract. 3.3 Community (Equality, Poverty, Rural and Island) impacts The NW2045 Vision outlines key challenges faced by remote rural communities including rural poverty and inequalities in those communities and priorities outlined in the vision to address these challenges. 3.4 Climate Change / Carbon Clever implications The NW2045 Vision aligns with the Council’s Highland Adapts initiative which will bring organisations from across Highland together to develop a shared adaptation strategy and action plan which will embed action to adapt across organisational, community and sector plans, strategies and investments.

  • Geological Notes and Location Descriptions for Field Excursions
    Inverness: 30 April - 7 May Inverness: 30 Geological notes and location descriptions for field excursions Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics 2017 Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics 1 Geological notes* The crustal evolution and geology of NW Scotland can be considered with reference to the Palaeozoic Caledonian orogeny. This major episode of crustal reworking was associated with the formation of a North Atlantic Craton – suturing the Proterozoic and older crustal blocks of Laurentian and Baltica (together with Avalonia, further south). NW Scotland contains part of the western margin of this orogen (or at least its more intense parts), a tectonic feature termed the Moine Thrust Belt. The foreland to the thrust belt preserves much older geology, exhumed from up to 35-40km depth, that give insight to processes that form, rework and reassemble the continental crust. The Caledonian rocks allow us to follow a transect from exhumed middle crustal sections within the orogen out into the foreland. Collectively these outcrops provide arrays of analogues for crustal geology and deformation structures, and we can use these to promote discussion of their geophysical characteristics when targeted in situ. However, the Caledonian crust, together with its foreland, has seen later deformation associated with the formation of sedimentary basins, chiefly in the immediate offshore. We can also access basin faults and examine not only their individual characteristics but also debate how they may have been influenced by pre-existing structures. Pre-Caledonian geology The Lewisian. The Lewisian forms the oldest basement to the British Isles and has classic Laurentian geology. The key geological markers in the field used to build up a sequence of geological events are a suite of NW-SE-trending metabasic sheets – the Scourie dykes.
