Soul Food Sisters

soul food sisters

Glasgow,

We’re a group of migrant women based in East Glasgow and together we’re creating a vibrant, female-led collective based around our favourite thing: food! By swapping recipes, ideas and skills, we’re making women’s lives brighter. Our not-for-profit organisation brings together women from all over the world, ending social isolation and empowering them to develop their talents- in the kitchen and beyond. 1. WE ARE A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE When we say ‘not-for-profit’, we mean just that! We believe that making a difference to people’s lives is more important than making money. Soul Food Sisters’ role is to empower migrant women in the local community to start their own businesses, encourage their abilities and increase confidence. That’s much more valuable than a fistful of tenners. 2. IT’S A LEARNING CURVE Sharing skills is a big deal for us. We are paid a flat rate and we all work together, which can mean anything from peeling bags of spuds to attending high-flying business meetings. By learning from each other, we can become stronger and more powerful together. 3. WE ARE ALL WOMEN We are built on the idea of sisterhood, so Soul Food Sisters is a women-only workers co-op, open to females from diverse backgrounds who love to cook. (Sorry, guys!). But if you’re female and you’d like to join our collective, get in contact as we would love to hear from you. If you work with us for a while, you could be offered membership to the co-operative. 4. EVERYTHING WE GET, WE PUT BACK IN Soul Food Sisters have an appetite for making great food, but when it comes to business, we’re not greedy. Any surplus cash after paying wages goes straight back into the collective. Also our assets are locked, so in the unlikely event we go bankrupt, nobody will be allowed to go home with the soup urns or chopping boards! 5. WE ARE A DEMOCRACY All the women in the Soul Food Sisters collective get a fair share and a listening ear. We make all our decisions by consensus, which isn’t always the quickest way, or the easiest. But consensus means that everyone is treated with respect and that we genuinely make decisions as a unified group. Every single one of us has equal ownership. 6. WE ARE ETHICAL To us, having a clear conscience is just as important as having a clean kitchen. We source ethical ingredients wherever possible and support other co-ops, making sure to buy our food locally. Of course, sometimes there are ingredients - like rice paper, for example - that we have to go further afield to find! But ethically sourced food is our utmost priority. 7. WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF FOOD We believe that food has the power to bring people together. By harnessing the spirit of Glasgow and it’s culturally diverse and fascinating communities, we provide food that celebrates diversity and for people of all cultures to enjoy together. 8. WE ARE SMART LADIES FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE At the moment, Soul Food Sisters is made up of eight women from 5 different continents. From Malaysia and Cuba to Poland and Thailand, we are a culturally mixed group, with many skills to share. And our talents extend further than just the kitchen. Together our cooks can do anything, whether it’s teaching German, making wine, designing buildings or driving trains! 9.THE HIDDEN GARDENS HAVE HELPED US GROW We would not be here without the help of the Hidden Gardens, at Tramway. This is the place where we met and cooked together for the first time, and we are grateful for their continued support. 10. AND FINALLY…WE MAKE GREAT FOOD Our food is what makes us tick. It’s who we all are, what we grew up with, what brings us together. We believe that our food is a reflection of our individual personalities and family traditions. And we’d like to share it with everyone!

"Photography is a tool to give voice to the voiceless and to give light to shadows within ourselves and in society“ Hello, my name is Gianpietro Pucciariello and I am an Italian visual storyteller and participatory facilitator based in London. My main work focuses on pushing the boundaries between social impact, dialogue and human conditions. This means that I work following ethical conduct to bring dignity and hope to people's faces and lives. Through my work, I want to celebrate, using empathy, respect but also playfulness, the beauty of the human soul along with its daily struggles and vulnerabilities. I use photography as a medium and a tool to give a voice to marginalised communities and organisations that want to address social and environmental issues in the places they operate by telling stories that mainstream media formats do not often tell, to encourage critical consciousness and influence policy. To do this I usually combine four themes, 1) Human beings, 2) places, 3) food 4) actions for impact, and five elements 1) focused questions, 2) metaphors, 3) storytelling, 4) Participation 5) Action-Driven Challenges. I grew up in the Lake Como area, where I got used to beauty already at an early age, in a family that, despite not being particularly affluent, provided me with a rich and safe place for growing my never-ending curiosity and learning, the value of an authentic soul, and the fundamental importance of social justice. I was lucky enough to have my mother, a kindergarten teacher, leading me by example with playfulness, self-expression and empathy and my father, working for the Italian railways, sustaining my development with strict rules and pushing my need for achievements, but always supporting my learnings with travels and books. I grew up as a really serious and introverted child - many people wouldn't believe so, as I developed more into a shy extroverted character through the years - with a huge inner world and having difficulties expanding outside in words. This is how I first discovered art and particularly photography. What I liked about taking pictures was mainly the idea of using an organic process for self-expression and for absorbing, summarising, explaining and creating knowledge around the social and environmental causes I cared for, and I was involved in since my teenage years. My need for expression became even more evident when my father was diagnosed with a rare neurodegenerative disease in 2003, after 5 years of unusual emotional outbursts, apathy and depression, tremors and personality changes. I put myself more and more on the front line of volunteering in the communities I was part of, and I focus my University Studies on the social sector and welfare, but at the same time, it became even more difficult for me to communicate my inner feelings on the outside. Despite this difficulty, I'm glad I took Economics as a Major subject. This gave me the chance to reflect and work deeply on human behaviour, motivational science, mental models of choice and root causes of oppression. Though, Economics gave me fewer opportunities to express my artistic side. I moved to London in my late twenties, and after a few years, I got stuck between a career I felt detached from, and together with my family situation, I got into a period of severe anxiety and inner chaos. One evening in October 2012 thought, returning from work, I found a leaflet about a course in photojournalism with the City & Guild in Tower Hamlets. That's how my journey in photography restarted. With and through photography, I restarted again to explore in deep the world around me, the condition of human beings and the causes I cared about. Even more important, I rediscovered myself, and my artistic skills, and boosted my self-confidence. Without rediscovering photography I wouldn't have gone back to practice facilitation and I wouldn't discover and loved other practices I work with right now, like coaching, social impact and innovation consulting. Without photography, I would have never become an entrepreneur and I wouldn't have nurtured other creative skills, like sketch noting & doodling. Photography helped me meet inspiring human beings that became friends, mentors, and some of the most important people in my life. That night in 2012 I drew a line in my life with a simple decision. I strongly believe that photography is one of the best ways we have to discover ourselves and the world around us, focusing on the present moment, one shot at a time. This is why I want to support you in using photography differently.

London Elite Sports & Football Academy

london elite sports & football academy

London

We are a youth and sports organisations who seek to improve the welfare and wellbeing of all children and young people through organised football/sport training and competitive games, education and social activities of all kinds.Clasford Stirling MBE was invited to establish a youth football team on the Broadwater Farm estate in Tottenham in 1979, which he duly did and called it Broadwater Farm United. Due to his personal commitment and consistency, two key ingredients for success, that first ‘team’ eventually turned into Broadwater Sports & Football Academy, which is still going but with a rebranding to it’s new name, London Elite Sports & Football Academy, which was founded and established by his son, Jude Stirling. As a youth and community advocacy organisation, it has been incredibly successful, supporting several generations of young people against all the odds, to reach their full potential. Clasfords example of care, discipline and clear mentorship as a strong role model, has attracted other skilled volunteer coaches and workers around him, who are also simply motivated to help young people and their parents to understand the transforming principles of great teamwork and cooperation. London Elite are now key providers within Haringey of youth provision projects that target those young people who are struggling against the adverse effects of poverty and low societal expectation, that can often lead young people into anti-social behaviours that are not good for either their own health and wellbeing, or those around them, especially parents who do not know how to overcome the powerful influences of peer pressure exerted upon their children. London Elite have established a model programme to address this vulnerability of young people, called ‘Off The Street, Less Heat’ aimed at providing a safe and secure ‘Drop-In’ place with a range of social and sport activities during late evening hours, in order to offer them alternative activities that are good for them and enhance their skills through training, education and mentoring. Equality has always been at the very heart of all that guides the way forward for Clasford and his team, with a vision of equal access to not only sport, but also education and all other facilities that are available to young people. London Elite, with the funding support of Nike, are now leaders in developing young women’s football, from the age of 10 and up, with our first team entry into a league, happening this season, which is very exciting for all concerned. London Elite exists and operates within a very diverse community and have the privilege of hosting and training children from many ethnic backgrounds, without discrimination, so all of their work is underpinned by the example and policies of the Football Association, especially in terms of promoting the anti-racist principles of their Respect agenda, which apply to not only the coaches, but to players, parents and spectators alike. London Elite’s vision for going forward, is to continue it’s good work and set a strong legacy plan for it’s continuation on into the future, laying the foundation of good strong ‘best practices’, so that anyone who joins the staff will know exactly what their role and aims are and how to achieve them in the best interests of the young people that they are supporting. There is also an idea to extend the vision to develop a one-stop shop for promoting job opportunities, interview training and entrepreneurial development. Partnerships are key to this future success and their collaborations with local schools, Nike, the London borough of Haringey, Spurs and many others, show just what can be achieved once the will and resources are put to good responsible use. London Elite is governed as a non-profit company limited by guarantee, meaning that there are no profits to be taken out of any funding or income that the management team receive, with any excess of income over costs, having to be ploughed straight back into the work of the team in helping young people. Continued long-term and stable funding is hard to come by now, especially with the financial hardships caused by the effects of the pandemic and so any help is much appreciated. London Elite are always seeking to put any funding opportunities to good use for our young people, so if you feel in alignment with our basic aims and objectives, please feel free to contact us at any time with ideas or concrete offers that you may be aware of. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

HOPE Bereavement Support Group CIC

hope bereavement support group cic

HOPE Bereavement Support began in 2013 when the visionary and founder, Ansa, realised that there needed to be a place of safety and inclusion for all mothers who had sadly lost a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth or at any other stage of their child’s life. What was sorely needed was an accessible place where everyone would be able to find comfort and support for their loss; not feel alone or ostracised. She had a vision where everybody – regardless of age, sex, religion, ethnicity or any other difference – had the ability to access mental health and emotional support for their loss. Ansa’s ambition came from a painful journey; she is the proud mother of 9 rainbow children. Her determination to succeed grew after she struggled to find a suitable support group after her losses. During her healing process she became more empowered and went back to study, changing her career path to become a qualified and registered counsellor and Training Consultant. There was at that time very limited multi-lingual counselling services available, and furthermore, it was very expensive and the clinical models applied did not feel culturally diverse or sensitive to BME therapeutic needs. HOPE Bereavement Support initially started with three trustees (the founder, a secretary and a treasurer) as a small constituted community group in Leeds, setting up bereavement support groups run by befrienders and volunteers for women and families to meet after suffering the loss of a child. Over 7 years on, the organisation is now running support services in Leeds, Bradford and London and specialises in all types of bereavement. We have a team of over 30 people consisting of qualified counsellors, coaches, an occupational therapist, clinical supervisors and many befrienders and volunteers. All staff members are based nationally in different parts of the UK working together remotely. Our services: Counselling Coaching Bereavement support groups Mental health and emotional wellbeing resilience workshops Educational and awareness building workshops Training and consultancy Research Media We also have service delivery partnership projects with Touchstone Staff Counselling and Touchstone ‘Blossom’ (Female Genital Mutilation) counselling: https://touchstonesupport.org.uk/ Our CEO Ansa E Ahmed has been nominated for the Positive Role Model (Race, Faith and Religion) Award at the National Diversity Awards 2021 “I was overwhelmed by receiving this nomination for the award, however, I feel and I believe that my HOPE team and organisation are well-deserved of this nomination and that this will be the first of many to come because we are a blackled organisation aiming to fulfil the short-comings in our national services in providing better health outcomes for our black communities nationwide. As the founder and CEO of HOPE services I feel very proud and overwhelmed with how much support, passion and dedication I have found in the people who have joined my organisation. When speaking and networking with other third sector and national organisations and their leaders, I was gratefully humbled for the respect given to our organisation in terms of what HOPE has to offer in fulfilling the need of our BAME communities access to mental health services in their own languages, and with our culturally inclusive person-centred approach towards each individual who accesses our services. Furthermore, I do not believe there is any other organisation that has achieved what we have in a short time as a Community Interest Company (CIC). This again is a testimony to the great BAME leaders from my board of directors, managers, supervisors and clinical practitioners that for me as a black leader I am proud to have alongside me as a driving force for HOPE. It feels like a lifetime ago when my career changed from the corporate field of working in the banking industry for 15 years of my life, I was able with my initiative and work ethic dedication to move up the management ladder to a customer service focused area manager role. So, therefore leading, motivating, coaching others from a leadership role comes very natural to me in my skill set as a CEO, but what really drives me is the passion and belief in compassion for all of humanity and this makes my job as CEO of HOPE very rewarding. From a personal development aspect I feel a winner as I am not only helping and giving back to my communities in the services that we provide in HOPE but also that I am helping my fellow BAME professionals nationwide who choose to join HOPE in their journey and development in furthering their career as BAME leaders within their respective fields of works. It has always been my mission statement as an individual and now as the head of the HOPE organisation that where possible I want to fight against stigma, shame, prejudice and racism in all its forms always with a heart full of compassion, love for humanity and kindness for all. I believe that true leadership is leading by example but also alongside helping your aspiring leaders. Your vote for me and HOPE would mean so much to us all, thank you 🙂 ”

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.

Home Education Uk

London

For most, home education is far more like university than school. It's about curiosity. Formulating a question or thought and researching it. The parents roll is not to formally teach but to facilitate that journey. It doesn't really matter too much what the child is curios about, the trick is to develop and facilitate curiosity, kindle it like a precious flame, and ultimately develop those critical thinking skills necessary to formulate new ideas for so it becomes a raging inferno. That sounds complicated perhaps, but it's really not. It's what all parents do for their children especially when they're small. Every time a child asks a question you start a journey of discovery. If parents see themselves not as teachers but as facilitators in this way, they will see progress they didn't imagine possible. It's exciting and fun but it can also be scary. Scary because as a parent you've been led to believe children need to be steered along a certain path, that there's a set of knowledge all children should have. But if that's not the child's path, or if it's a part of a journey your child has not yet encountered, you're effectively imposing ideas on the child and run the risk, along side millions of other children, of alienating your child from the learning process, suppressing their own intrinsic curiosity for the imposed ideas of others. How often has a child asked "what's the point in this?" Far too many I suspect. Spark a child's curiosity, facilitate their journey of discovery, put the child behind the wheel and they will take responsibility for their own course and progress, because they will be intrinsically motivated to satisfy their curiosity. For the overwhelming majority of parents, this is the beauty of home education. By answering questions they themselves pose, they retain what they learn because it's part of their own journey. Something they questioned themselves. Covid-19 Home Schooling Support We have created a support section entirely for those caught up in the covid crisis. We also have a FB Forum just for you. Experienced home educators are on hand to welcome you and help with issues relating to your child's education at home. We can't promise to answer every question, but many of the issues you will face will already have been dealt with by home educators who are the experts in educating in the home. The group is the Home Education UK School Closure Support Forum. now with over five thousand members The Supremacy of the Family - & Why. “The totalitarian state tries to separate the child from her family and mould her to its own design. Families in all their subversive variety are the breeding ground of diversity and individuality. Hence the family is given special protection in all the modern human rights… The child is not the mere creature of the State.” Baroness Hale, President of the Supreme Court 11th June 2008 LG Ombudsman rules against routine visits The Local Government Ombudsman ruled that councils must be clear with parents of home educated children whether a home visit is routine or triggered by concerns following Leicester City's attempt to initiate actions based on anticipating, future government proposals currently being considered Download a Free Poster Many parents remain unaware that home education is legal, or if they are aware, where to find support.

(The Special Rapporteur to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights 8th April 1999) Parents are responsible for the education of their offspring regardless of whether they are in school or out of it. In law the right to an education is an obligatory right, it may neither be denied to, nor refused by, a child. Thus since children may not refuse education and there is no academic consensus on what constitutes an effective education, we believe that the state must be flexible in defining what a 'suitable' education is. While the law expresses the right to home educate as a parental right, it is my belief that, in the same way that young people have the right to decide upon medical procedures, a specific education should not be imposed upon them. This is not only right in principle but in practice, since intrinsically motivated learning will most readily "achieve that which it sets out to achieve". Learning cannot be imposed.

Any phrase introduced by the terms including, include, in particular or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding those terms. A reference to writing or written includes faxes and e-mails. 3. General Information These Conditions apply when MT: sells and delivers Hardware; sells and delivers Licences; sells and delivers Software; or provides repairs or any other services to the Customer. They will also apply to other business transactions unless MT agrees that alternative special conditions apply. These Conditions apply to the exclusion of any other conditions that may be proposed by a Customer or implied by law (insofar as such exclusion is lawful). Part II Specific Provisions for the Use of the Online Shop Customers purchasing Goods from the Site, must read all Parts of these Conditions, which apply to them in full. 4. Consumers The Goods and services provided by MT are designed only for sale to and use by businesses in the course of their business activities. MT does not knowingly sell to any person dealing as a consumer or supply anything for personal use. 5. Customer’s Status By placing an order on the Site, the Customer warrants that he or she is: legally capable of entering into binding contracts and, where the Customer is an individual, that he or she is at least 18 years old; and is dealing in a business capacity and purchasing Goods and/or services for the purpose of his business and not for personal use. Part III General Conditions for the Provision of Goods and Services 6. Formation of Contract Quotations provided by MT to the Customer are not binding on MT. The Customer’s order constitutes an offer to MT to buy the Goods or services. All orders are subject to acceptance by MT. The offer will be deemed accepted, and a Contract formed, when MT sends the Customer confirmation that the Goods have been dispatched (“Dispatch Confirmation”) or, in the absence of a Dispatch Confirmation, when the Goods are delivered. The Contract will only relate to those Goods whose dispatch is confirmed to the Customer by a Dispatch Confirmation or if no Dispatch Confirmation is sent, those Goods which are actually dispatched. MT is not obliged to supply any Goods which may have been part of the Customer’s order until the dispatch of such Goods has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation. Subject to Condition 17 below, an order for services will be deemed to have been accepted, and a Contract formed, when MT sends the Customer confirmation that the services ordered will be provided (“Service Confirmation”) or, in the absence of a Service Confirmation, when the services begin to be provided. Oral representations will only be binding upon MT if they are expressly confirmed in writing by MT to the Customer. 7. Price Unless MT expressly specifies prices to the Customer, MT’s current list of prices applicable at the time of the acknowledgement of order will apply. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all prices are exclusive of value added tax, postage, freight, insurance, forwarding fees, installation and commissioning, travelling expenses and subsistence, which will be added as appropriate. MT will charge overtime for work outside of their normal Business Hours at up to 150% of the hourly rate from time to time applicable during Business Hours. Subject to Condition 16 below, prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which MT has already sent the Customer a Dispatch Confirmation or a Service Confirmation as the case may be. The Site contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite MT’s efforts, some of the products listed may be incorrectly priced. MT will normally verify prices as part of dispatch procedures so that, where a product’s correct price is less than our stated price, MT will charge the lower amount when dispatching the product to you. If a product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, MT will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. MT is under no obligation to provide any Goods or services to the Customer at an incorrect (lower) price, even after MT has sent a Dispatch Confirmation or a Service Confirmation in relation to those Goods or services if such incorrect price could reasonably have been expected to be recognised by the Customer as an error. 8. Delivery and Availability The Customer’s order for Goods will be fulfilled by the delivery date in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date the Customer made his order (where such an order leads to a Contract). The period for delivery or performance of the Contract will normally commence on MT’s acknowledgement of the order. However, if the Customer is required to do anything before MT can effect delivery, MT will, as soon as practicable, notify the Customer accordingly. The time within which MT must deliver any Goods will run from the date on which MT receives notice from the Customer that it has duly complied with such notification from MT. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any periods mentioned in the acknowledgement of order for services and Software development are based on a preliminary estimate of the required workload and therefore are approximate only. Time of delivery and performance is not of the essence. If MT fails to meet any delivery or performance dates set out in the acknowledgement of order and is solely responsible for such failure, the Customer may terminate the Contract but only after MT has been given an opportunity to rectify the situation and subsequently fails to meet the revised set of delivery or performance dates provided by MT to the Customer in writing. Unless MT has been deliberately or grossly negligent, all further claims of the Customer on the basis of the delay in performance are excluded. If MT cannot deliver or perform its obligations under the Contract due to Force Majeure or a failure of the Customer to cooperate or any other act, default or omission of the Customer, then MT will be entitled to perform its obligations under the Contract once the issue has been resolved, provided the issue occurred while MT was still allowed to deliver or perform and MT shall have no liability whatsoever for any delay or its failure to perform its obligations. 9. Agreed Performance Unless specified otherwise in writing, the agreed performance in respect of any repairs provided by MT, at the Customer’s request will be to adjust the relevant unit(s) to MT’s applicable standard specifications for that unit. Where the relevant unit(s) cannot be repaired to MT’s applicable standard specification due to the Customer limiting the repairs required or the time and money to be invested MT may exceed the Customer’s request if MT considers, at its sole discretion, that such additional repairs are reasonable and will ensure the proper functionality of the unit in question. The agreed performance levels for MT’s maintenance and care services are as set out in Conditions 26 and 28 below; for all other services the agreed performance levels will be as set out in the acknowledgement of order. 10. Refunds Where the Customer returns Goods (at the Customer’s cost) because he or she claims that the Goods are defective, MT will examine the returned Goods and will notify the Customer of its findings within a reasonable period of time. If MT (in its sole discretion) deems that the Goods are defective, MT may at its option repair, replace or provide a refund in respect of such defective Goods. MT will process any repair, replacement or refund as soon as practicable and, in the case of any refund, within 30 days of the day MT confirmed to the Customer that the Customer was entitled to the same. Such refunds will be made in full, including a refund of any delivery charges for sending the item to the Customer. 11. Import Duty If the Customer orders Goods for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. The Customer will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that MT has no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Customers should contact their local customs office for further information before placing an order. Customers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined. The Customer will indemnify and keep indemnified MT in respect of all costs, proceedings, losses and liabilities resulting from any breach by the Customer of any such laws. 12. Retention of Title to Property The Goods will be at the Customer’s risk from the time of delivery. Property in and title to all Goods will remain with MT until MT has received payment for the full price of all the Goods (and/or all other goods and/or services supplied by MT to the Customer under any other contract whatsoever).. The Customer may sell or use Goods in which title is retained during the course of their normal business, but may not give such Goods by way of pledge or pledge these Goods as security. Until the property in and title to the Goods passes to the Customer: the Customer shall keep the Goods properly stored, protected and insured and separate from all or any other goods whether belonging to MT, the Customer or any third party; MT shall be entitled at any time forthwith to revoke the Customer’s power to deal with the Goods; and such power shall automatically cease if an Insolvency Event shall occur in respect of the Customer; and the Customer shall not make any modification to the Goods, the Software or their packaging or alter, remove or tamper with any marks, numbers or other means of identification used on or in relation to the Goods. Upon termination of the Customer’s power to deal with the Goods, the Customer shall place the Goods at the disposal of MT and MT are hereby irrevocably authorised without the need for consent of any third party but using only such force as may be necessary, to enter upon any premises of the Customer or any third party for the purpose of removing the Goods. If third parties claim title to Goods with retained title, the Customer will inform MT without delay, will notify the person making the claim of MT’s title and will support MT in enforcing its rights, including taking all the necessary steps required to preserve MT’s rights, including commencing litigation at the Customer’s own expense. If the Customer breaches the Contract, e. g. by delaying payment, the Customer will be obliged to return the Goods with retained title if requested by MT, in return for which MT will not terminate the Contract. 13. Payment Where services, maintenance or care are provided on an ongoing basis, MT will invoice the Customer for these at the beginning of the billing period or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Customer will pay MT’s invoices in full within 30 days from the date of the relevant invoice. Depending on the scope of an order, payments for such services, maintenance or care are due either upon placement of the order by the Customer or upon partial delivery of the same of between 40 to 50% of their respective order value. BACS or cheque are the only methods of payment accepted. Invoices for Seminars and Training Sessions will be issued at the beginning of the respective session and payment is due immediately and without deduction. 14. Delay of Payment Where a Customer fails to pay an invoice by the due date, MT will be entitled to charge the Customer interest on all monies outstanding from the due date until the actual date of payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate of 8% above the base rate of the Bank of England calculated on a daily basis. 15. Setting-Off and Refusal of Payment The Customer cannot exercise any right of set-off in respect of amounts owed to or by MT. 16. Change of Pricing by MT for Ongoing Maintenance or Care MT may increase its prices for maintenance and services by giving the Customer written notice 2 months prior to the end of the Minimum Term. The Customer has 4 weeks from the date of receipt of the written notice from MT to object to the change. Where the Customer so objects, the Customer will be entitled to give notice to MT to terminate the Contract as of the date of the proposed price increase. 17. Automatic Extension of Contract Where services, maintenance or care are performed on an ongoing basis the Contract will come into effect upon acceptance by MT of the first order from the Customer for Software maintenance. The Contract will initially run until the date specified at “Minimum Service Duration” as set out in the “MT Service Product List” or until the expiry date where an expiry date is stipulated in the Contract (“Minimum Term”). Subject to one of the Parties serving written notice of termination on the other at least three months prior to the expiry of the Minimum Term, the Contract will be extended automatically. In the case of Software Licences supplied without a time limit, the Contract will extend until December 31st of the current year. The subsequent extension periods will begin on January 1st and end on December 31st of the respective year. In the case of Software Licences supplied with limited validity (e.g. a licence for 1-year) the extension is based on the terms and conditions set out in the description of the respective licence (e.g. extension by one further year). Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any extension to a Contract will be on the basis of MT’s current price list as at the date of such extension. 18. Delivery Obligations and Shipping The conditions for EXW (ex works) (MT’s premises or such other place referred to in the relevant order) as set out in the Incoterms 2010 apply to delivery of any Goods. Claims for any transport damages and any replacement of damaged Goods, remain with the Customer who is responsible for adhering to the mode and period for the filing of any claims with carriers, shippers and insurers. 19. Scope of Warranty (Material Deficiencies and Deficiencies in Title) MT warrants that the Hardware is free from defects in workmanship and material as at the time of transfer of risk; and warrants that the Software does not contain any flaws which void or substantially reduce its value or suitability for the usual or contracted purpose. Where MT is not the author of the Software, MT does not warrant that such Software will run without interruptions or errors, nor that MT will be capable of resolving all Software errors, nor that the Customer will be capable of achieving all of the functions included in the Software in all of the combinations chosen by the Customer, nor that these will meet the Customer’s requirements. MT will only warrant the quality and/or durability of Goods if it has expressly agreed in writing with the Customer that it will do so. The warranty period is 1 year. Where MT is the author of the Software such Software is subject to MT’s standard warranty. 20. Obligation to Inspect and Serve Notice of Defects The Customer must inspect the Goods upon delivery or repair and must notify MT in writing of any failure by MT to meet the specification within 7 days of delivery or repair or (where the failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within a reasonable time being no more than 1 month after discovery of the failure. Where the Customer fails to provide such notice MT will have no liability under its warranty. 21. Liability Subject only to Condition 21 d), MT shall not be liable to the Customer in contract, tort (including without limitation negligence) and/or breach of statutory duty for any loss or damage which the Customer may suffer by reason of any act, omission, neglect or default (including negligence) in the performance of the Contract by MT, its servants or agents, in a sum which is greater than GBP 200,000 per incident or series of connected incidents.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, nothing in these Conditions shall operate so as to limit or exclude MT’s non-excludable liability in respect of death or personal injury caused by the negligence of MT to exclude the application of Section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and to exclude liability for fraudulent misrepresentation. MT’s liability for loss of data is limited to the effort required to restore the data from proper backups provided by the Customer. 22. Third Party Rights If any third party claims or takes action against the Customer, because Goods delivered by MT, or their use in accordance with the instructions provided by MT, purportedly violate their commercial rights or proprietary rights, then the Customer will inform MT of the same. MT agrees that they will assist the Customer in defending such claims. Where the claim is made to the Customer within 12 months of the date of delivery, MT will indemnify the Customer against claims provided that the Customer: appoints MT to defend the claims or to settle the dispute, and promptly notifies MT of any such claim, keeps the Customer informed of all information received and provides such reasonable assistance to MT as it shall reasonably require, does not defend the action itself without coordinating such defence with MT, and does not at any time admit liability or otherwise settle or compromise or attempt to settle or compromise the said claim or action except upon the express instruction of MT, the alleged breach of rights is not based on alteration of the delivered item used by the Customer, and does not use the item delivered by MT in conjunction with other items and/or in a fashion that breaches any such rights, in a situation where the use of the item as delivered by MT would not have breached the rights of the person who has filed the claim. MT may at any time and at its own expense acquire on behalf of the Customer the right to continue to use the Goods, to replace the Goods or alter them in such a fashion that the rights of others are no longer breached. If this is not possible, the Customer shall return or destroy the Goods if required to do so by MT who will reimburse the purchasing price for the Goods less depreciation. If the Customer refuses to do so, MT will no longer defend the claim or provide the Customer with any further support. The Customer has no further rights in case of disputes over proprietary rights with third parties and MT shall have no liability therefore unless MT could be blamed for acting deliberately or with gross negligence.

Edinburgh

One year ago today, we were not sure how we would be delivering educational experiences for our students. Two years ago, the situation was even worse as we were not sure whether we would be able to offer anything meaningful at all in person. The relative normality of this year’s first day of school brings reassurance and joy. So far it seems that everyone has grown over the summer, and our returners look more confident and poised than they did six weeks ago. No doubt they have many stories to share, much better in person than through the various social media platforms that they have been inhabiting. Our new S1 students are excited about starting this new phase in their lives. A few have had to ask for directions to classes, but good for them that they have the confidence to do so. They will bring much to the future of our school and in the blink of an eye they will be in S6 preparing for the next phase. Being Part of the Community The vast majority of our students are showing their pride in being part of the Broughton High School community by wearing school uniform and dress code. That is part of their contribution to their school, and is most welcome. I would emphasise that although school uniform is much less expensive than the designer clothing that teenagers might choose to wear, we are keen to support families who are struggling with the cost of clothing. The best way to access this is via our guidance team, through either a direct phone call or an email to school reception. Academic Success More detailed information will be forthcoming, but I am absolutely delighted to share that the attainment gained by our S4-S6 students last year was outstanding. Despite the many challenges that they had to face, they contributed to the best set of SQA results that the school has ever seen. Better than the exam-free years of 2020 and 2021. Better than any year since statistics have been recorded in the current format. This is particularly remarkable, given that the national pass rates have actually declined this year. This level of academic success is not just down to ability but comes as a result of many factors: hard work and resilience; support from parents and carers; and untiring high quality teaching and regard from staff are some. A massive well done from me and the whole school staff to those young people. Senior Staffing News We welcome Mrs Lisa Evans to our school senior leadership team. Mrs Evans has been a curriculum leader in another Edinburgh school for the past eight years, and was previously an English teacher at Broughton. I am delighted that Mrs Evans is back in the Broughton HS family and we look forward to great things. Recently we also welcomed Mr Steven Frew back to Broughton HS after a few years as a curriculum leader in East Lothian. Mr Frew joined us just before the end of the summer term in the role of Senior Development Officer. One of his key roles is to explore the diversity in our school community and make the most of the opportunities that this provides. This will be fascinating and will provide further impetus to cohesion and success in our school. Mr Frew was also previously with us as a Business Education teacher. It speaks volumes for Broughton HS that staff who have progressed in their career are keen to re-join us further down the line. I am pleased to inform you that Mrs Shona Wallace, Depute Headteacher, has been appointed on an acting basis to the Headship of Craigroyston Community High School. Mrs Wallace will work hard – as she always does – to support the community at Craigroyston. We wish her well, and look forward to her return in the latter part of the academic year. Finally, I would like to thank our parental community for the support you give to our school. We will keep trying together to make things as good as possible for our young people. Most of the time we get it right, and long may that continue. John J Wilson Headteacher *********** Broughton High School aspires to be a learning community known for its excellent learning and teaching. We maximise student achievement; provide support, welfare and inspiration. We are committed to continual improvement. Our students will be confident, successful and able to contribute effectively and responsibly to society. They should foster an interest in life long learning. We are a consistently improving organisation. Our core values are the same - respect, inclusion and integrity in all that we do. Tolerance and a willingness to learn about other cultures have been at the heart of Scottish education for centuries. By embracing the Scottish tradition and developing through a curriculum for excellence we hope to develop as truly global citizens. Broughton High School is developing as a centre of excellence in the wider community with our business partners and neighbours utilising the building during and beyond the school day. The development of partnership working is important to us and we actively pursue their development. In school, it goes without saying that we provide a secure and healthy environment, but we aim for much more. We aspire to personal excellence at all times. In every classroom, on the playing fields, through every note played in the Music School we aim for the highest standards. These can only be achieved if the whole school community works in partnership.
