peebles high school

Peebles High aims to do everything we can to ensure a positive experience and outcome for our young people while they are here with us. To do this we published a very ambitious document in 2106 entitled “ Vision 2020”. This captures the how and why we hope to do this for every member of our school. Please download this pdf or continue down this page to read more fully about our ambition and commitment. phs_about01 phs_about02 phs_about03 phs_about04 phs_about05 phs_about06 phs_about07 phs_about08 phs_about09 phs_about10 phs_about11 phs_about12 phs_about13 Our Values Our values are taken from the mace of the Scottish Parliament: Justice, Wisdom, Compassion and Integrity. We aim to exemplify these values in our actions and encourage each other to live by these values. Our decision making and strategic planning are founded on these values. Mente et Manu. Compassion We care about each other, the wider school community, and the whole of society. We see ourselves as global citizens with a responsibility to help those less fortunate than ourselves. We try our hardest to understand those who hold different values and beliefs and celebrate our differences. Integrity We promote and practise our values in our actions and reflect these values in our policies. We aim to face our challenges, identify areas for improvement and focus on meeting learners’ needs by applying these values with honesty and transparency. Justice We treat everyone fairly and always strive to provide equal opportunities. The safety and happiness of our school community members will be prioritised as we aim to deliver the very best opportunities for all to achieve and surpass their ambitions. We believe in, and are committed to, being an inclusive school. Wisdom When making decisions we will apply our knowledge, experiences, understanding, common sense and insight. We understand that at times the rights of our community members may be conflicting and we will always consider our values to help us arrive at the right decisions. We are all committed to learning every day. Our Key Aims To improve the lives and the life chances of all of our students. To promote respect and positive behaviour in all of our relationships. To ensure every student is included, participative and takes advantage of the wide range of activities on offer. To deliver the highest levels of attainment and achievement possible for every individual. To deliver positive and aspirational destinations for all of our students as they leave school. Self-evaluation for self-improvement Evaluating the quality of learning and teaching to ensure it is of the highest standard is given priority in our school. We ensure everyone involved in school life understands their responsibility to evaluate their performance and all stakeholders take an active role in identifying what the school needs to do to improve outcomes for learners. Using a variety of strategies, we involve different groups of parents, pupils and staff to lead, plan, implement, monitor and evaluate our improvements while avoiding overly bureaucratic approaches. We are committed to our School Improvement Partnerships with other schools, looking for and learning from best practice within Scotland and further afield. We listen carefully to advice from SBC, Scottish government and international sources, while also considering the best available research, to reflect on our practices and when planning new initiatives. Gathering and analysing data, information and views underpins our approach to identifying what we need to do to improve and we are always mindful of the impact of our approaches on workload for young people and staff. Learning, Teaching and the Curriculum 7 Principles At every stage of learning all of our students will benefit from their entitlement to a curriculum that is… challenging and enjoyable, broad in scope, progressive, deep, personalised by genuine choice, coherent and relevant Dialogic Teaching We harness the power of talk to stimulate and extend students’ thinking and advance their learning and understanding. Staff are skilled at using dialogic teaching to diagnose students’ learning needs, frame their learning tasks and assess progress. This empowers students for lifelong learning and active citizenship. Active Learning Providing active learning experiences is a priority for all of our staff. Our students are eager and active participants in all lessons. We engage all of our students in collaborative learning activities, outdoor learning, and provide learning experiences that are meaningful to a digital generation. Assessment for Learning We are committed to using assessment to aid the learning process. We believe that making and learning from mistakes is a vital aspect of learning and formative feedback, peer assessment and AifL strategies are at the heart of our approach to Learning and Teaching. 3-18 Experience We are committed to partnership working across Tweeddale to ensure that all of our students benefit from a coherent experience that builds on learning at every transition point. Across Tweeddale there is a consistent approach to pedagogy, a commitment to cross sector working/CLPL and a commitment to prioritise Literacy, Numeracy, Health and Wellbeing and Skills for Learning, Life and Work.

Opaque Transparency: The Silent Project Killer

By IIL Europe Ltd

Opaque Transparency: The Silent Project Killer A 2014 report from the Standish Group showed that a staggering 31.1% of software projects get cancelled before completion. Further, over 50% of projects will cost nearly 200% of their original estimates, and only 16% of software projects are completed on time and on budget. The report cited user collaboration, executive level support and clearly stated requirements as key contributors to success, but what's the common denominator? Having led many public and private classes, and consulted with many corporations, I hear the same pain points over and over. Sharing these pains (which everyone of course believes are unique to them!) will hopefully lead to more project managers pushing for support, executives introspecting a little deeper and more realistically, and team members asking for more project transparency! I've summed up the major project pains from folks mentioned above in to one collective term: transparency. Transparency means clarity, and there are many opportunities from day one of a project to introduce clarity, yet so often these opportunities are missed one after the other. This makes the lack of transparency a silent project killer, slowly choking any chance of success and lending itself to the sad statistics shown above. Thankfully, there is hope! A clear and realistic project charter gets things off to a good start, but it needs to be followed up with other key processes. This presentation talks about those key processes, and more importantly, the fact that brilliant processes are useless without the right people employing them.

Charity accounting refers to the specialized financial reporting and management practices used by charitable organizations to track and report their financial activities. It involves maintaining accurate records of income, expenses, assets, and liabilities, adhering to regulatory requirements, and ensuring transparency in financial reporting. Charity accounting aims to provide stakeholders, including donors, beneficiaries, and regulatory bodies, with a clear understanding of how funds are raised, managed, and utilized to support the organization's charitable objectives. Q2: Why is Charity Accounting Important? Charity accounting is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it helps ensure accountability and transparency, which are critical for maintaining the trust of donors and the public. Accurate financial reporting also enables charitable organizations to demonstrate their impact and effectiveness in achieving their mission and objectives. Moreover, complying with accounting standards and regulatory requirements ensures legal compliance and helps prevent financial mismanagement or fraud. Q3: What are the Key Differences Between Charity Accounting and Regular Accounting? While charity accounting shares many similarities with regular accounting practices, there are some key differences. One significant distinction is the emphasis on accountability to donors and the public in charity accounting. Charitable organizations often face stricter reporting requirements and scrutiny due to their tax-exempt status and reliance on public trust. Additionally, charity accounting may involve tracking donations, grants, and restricted funds separately to ensure proper allocation and compliance with donor intentions. Q4: What are the Challenges Associated with Charity Accounting? Charity accounting can present various challenges, including managing complex funding streams, complying with evolving regulatory frameworks, and accurately valuing non-cash donations or volunteer services. Additionally, charitable organizations may struggle with limited financial resources and expertise, making it challenging to implement robust accounting systems and practices. Furthermore, maintaining transparency while protecting sensitive donor information can be a delicate balance for charities. Q5: How Can Charities Improve Their Accounting Practices? Charities can improve their accounting practices by investing in staff training, implementing robust financial management systems, and seeking professional advice when needed. It's essential to stay informed about changes in accounting standards and regulatory requirements and to conduct regular audits to ensure compliance and identify areas for improvement. Collaborating with other charities or seeking mentorship from experienced financial professionals can also provide valuable insights and support in enhancing accounting practices. Ultimately, prioritizing transparency, accuracy, and accountability is key to effective charity accounting.
