Overview of Scottish Apprenticeships

Thursday 10 March 2022

Parents and carers can learn more about Foundation, Modern and Graduate Apprenticeships on a free webinar later this month. Careers Advisers from Skills Development Scotland will talk about the different apprenticeships that are available and how work-based learning can open the door to a wide range of careers. They will also be on hand to answer any questions that you may have about your young persons career development. Parents and carers can register for the session below.

LGBTQ+ History Month

LGBTQ+ History Month is held in February to coincide with the 2003 abolition of Section 28. Section 28 of the Local Government Act, introduced by Margaret Thatcher, stated that local authorities were not allowed to ‘intentionally promote homosexuality.’ 

According to the Human Dignity Trust, 71 jurisdictions worldwide criminalise same-sex relationships. The purpose behind LGBTQ+ History Month is to recognise the struggle of those that fought for the movement whilst celebrating their contributions.

Most importantly, however, LGBTQ+ History Month reminds us of those who live without the rights we take for granted. These slides contain a few historical figures to learn more about this month.

Mikeysline Parent Workshops

Parents and carers should have received an email inviting them to complete a survey based on Mikyesline. Mikeysline is a charity that offers support to both young people and adults around mental health, wellbeing and suicide prevention.

As a school community we want to continue to support parents and carers, therefore we have partnered with Mikeysline. Marina Finlayson from Mikeysline has kindly offered to lead two workshops for parents and carers which can either be face-to-face in school or online. The way in which these workshops will be delivered will be based on what the majority of parents & carers want. 

Please complete the survey if you are interested in attending.

S4 Online Parents’ Evening

S4 Online Parents’ Evening is on  Wednesday 16th February with appointments being made available between 5.30pm and 8.00pm.  The booking system opens tomorrow, Tuesday 8th February, at 6pm, and closes for bookings on Tuesday 15th February at 6pm.

RRSA Parent Survey

Many parents and carers will have now received an email inviting them to complete a survey based on The Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA). The RRSA puts children’s rights at the heart of schools and that is the reason Culloden Academy have started to focus on the Bronze Award this year. The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive.

Our Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.

For those parents and carers who did not receive an email we invite you follow the link to the survey. This evidence will be used to review where we currently feel we are as a school community, allowing us (pupils, parents and staff) to create an Action Plan in order to move towards working for the Silver Award.

We want to make a genuine change for our young people at Culloden Academy and to do so we need your help. Please use the button below to complete the survey if you have not already done so.
