Partnerships
Please see the powerpoint shared at the Annual Partnership Event held in March. This event is held in recognition of our partners. We have a Community Partnership Award each year.
Our Local Ministers are invited to share leadership of regular monthly or termly assemblies providing an opportunity for religious engagement. Parents have the right to request their child is removed from assemblies with a Christian focus for alternative reflection.
Ardnamurchan High School has been a community school since its inception and an integral partnership has been with Àrainn Shuaineirt (the Sunart Centre) and with the wider community. Many of the extra curricular opportunities and activities for our children which school staff organise are supplemented and supported by Partner staff working from the centre under Highlife Highland. These staff are:
Eoghan Carmichael (Centre Coordinator)
Alan Gray (Youth development worker
Fiona Beattie (Active Schools Coordinator)
Amy MacDougall (Acting Network Librarian)
Activities include, youth club, sporting events, drama and music events and festivals, reading and book events and fitness activities. The rural transport initiative allows us to provide regular buses to the communities throughout Ardnamurchan and Moidart to allow children to attend events on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Our Partnerships with the wider community also support the curriculum and wider skills for Learning, Life and Work development.
These include:
Rotary Club of Lochaber
The Forestry Commission
The Highland Council Ranger Service
Marine Harvest
The Ariundle Centre
Kilcamb Lodge
Ewen’s Room
Springboard Scotland
The Highland Council Catering Service
Café Sunart
Skills Development Scotland
Ardnamurchan Parish Churches
Abernethy Outdoor Centre, Ardgour
Associated Primary schools and Nurseries
A wide range of business, local estates and services throughout Lochaber support our PSE and Work Experience programme.
Skills Development Scotland, Social Work, NHS Highland and our school nurse are also all key partners in the integrated care of children and young people.
The West Highland College also have space in the building and support the curriculum in the school through providing practical cookery for S1, S2 and S3 as well as our Skills for Work students further up the school. Distance and flexible learning opportunities are also supplemented by the West Highland College in Senior School.
