Thank you for taking an interest in Community School School and for visiting our website. On behalf of governors, staff and children, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our website and to introduce you to our school. If you are visiting the website as an existing parent, we hope that you find the information you are looking for. If not, please call us or drop in at the school office to ask your questions. If you are member of the public and cannot find the information you are looking for, please contact us on 0161 998 4825. If you are visiting our website as a prospective or future parent, I appreciate that choosing a school for your child is an important and, at the same time, daunting task. You will want to satisfy yourself that our school can meet the needs of your child and your family. We hope that this website, combined with a personal visit, will help you decide if life at Northenden Community School is what you are seeking for your child and for you as parents. All schools are different. Each school has its own character, ethos and ways of doing things. This is what makes schools unique and able to offer different things to meet the needs of different families and learners. At Northenden, we believe that a real strength of our school is our ethos and the care, guidance and support that we offer to our children and families. Our school is a friendly place and we expect a high level of co-operation and consideration from all those involved in the lives of the children. We believe that we are a successful school but are always looking ahead to be even better.

Dumfries

We’re one of the biggest community platform in the South of Scotland, and we work with our partners to use culture as means to improve the lives of our community who are experiencing high levels of social and rural isolation. As a unique social co-operative, we have over 170 voluntary members who contribute to our social model through volunteering, sponsorship or advocacy. Anyone can join our membership organisation. We have just taken over the Loreburn Hall in the centre of Dumfries which is a temporary cultural space, including an 80 seat cinema, 50 seat cabaret lounge, 50 seat black box theatre and a main hall with a capacity of 1200 Our work takes place in schools, residential homes, cafes, car parks, swimming pools and in all sorts of locations throughout our region. We believe that there are barriers that prevent members of our community taking part in culture and we do everything we can to deliver socially driven projects that help to improve the cultural health of our region through our seasons of projects which aim to increase resilience by connecting our community through our cultural programmes and services. Our signature projects include a diverse range of community arts based programmes and iconic place-making projects including our annual winter festival, Carlisle Fringe, Dumfries Carnival, Le Haggis, High Tea, Queer Haggis, Dumfries Youth Theatre, Dumfries Community Choir and Producers of the Future. Every year we deliver more than 300 shows across our festival programmes, as well as weekly community arts sessions to over 100 participants, creative industry training for emerging artists and the sector across Dumfries & Galloway, and traineeships in producing across our major projects. Our cultural skills development programme is one of the largest of its kind in the UK. At the centre of our work is the belief that we can use culture to connect people, we advocate that culture is good for our wellbeing and health, and that art is a form of human expression and creativity. Our network of over 100 associate artists and producers includes performance makers, producers, artists and collaborators who believe in the power of social change.
