Feasibility Studies – The Results

Published by Billy on April 14, 2010 in Bucksburn Community, Bucksburn Nursery, Bucksburn Parent Council, Bucksburn Primary School, Helpful Publications, Joint Parent Councils, Parental Assistance and Parental Involvement. 2 Comments

The feasibility studies are available to download! Yay, I hear you cry…

It’s in three parts, the first is an overview, the 2nd(Bucksburn) and 3rd(Newhills) concentrate on the individual sites(yes, only 2 sites were considered, yes I know we weren’t involved despite promises that we would be…*rolls eyes*).

Part 1 (.doc[4.1MB] | .pdf[549kB])
Part 2 (.doc[11.5MB])
Part 3 (.doc[10.1MB])

There are no pdf versions of 2 & 3 because they become insanely huge(over 60MB each)

Because these are fairly large documents I’ve converted them to html and put them on this site so you can read them online, direct access at

but please note some formatting is lost in the automatic conversion.

Happy reading, comments below!

Enquire Within

Published by Billy on October 22, 2009 in Helpful Publications. 0 Comments Tags: .

I’ve been forwarded a pdf scan of the latest edition of Enquire Within, the newsletter produced by The Scottish Advice Service For Additional Support For Learning. This is aimed at all parents, not just those parents of children with additional support needs.

More information can be found at the enquire website. A good resource for parents which I’ll be linking to from the sidebar.

I’ve been forwarded the latest SPTC Backchat and an accompanying leaflet on Parents roles during HMIE inspections. I also have hard copies of this available should they be required.

Attached is a .doc format file that is the e-Curiculum For Excellence Leaflet distributed by ACC/SPTC

This should hopefully help explain what the CfE is and how it works within our schools.

Weather Post Getting Hits

The last few days has found this site getting LOTS of hits from parents or other interested individuals because of our weather alerts box.

If you were the person searching for “Was School X closed today?” I fear you may have gotten here too late?

Public Consultation

Published by Billy on November 3, 2008 in Bucksburn Parent Council, Bucksburn Primary School, Helpful Publications and Parental Involvement. 1 Comment

This Thursday sees the public consultation event held in Bankhead Academy at 19:00. Please come to this and show your support for the school. The parent council and PTA are meeting shortly beforehand to help out with clearing up anything you may feel needs to be addressed as well as just provide someone to sit with!

If you wish to view the consultation document it is available by following this link (.pdf file) and there is a hard copy in the school.

The parent council/PTA have developed their own views on key points requiring attention and would encourage all parents to speak with us with any concerns and to find out our opinions.
