Aims of the School

To identify and develop the

talents of all pupils to the limitsof their abilities by ensuring

that, at every stage, an

appropriate range of

structured, properly developed,

relevant learning experiences

is available.

To influence the emotionaldevelopment of all pupils byfostering an atmosphere ofdiligence, tolerance, co-operation and mutual respectat all levels within the School.

To encourage links betweenthe School and the communityat large local, national andinternational as part of acommitment to prepare pupilsfor the various roles which lifeand work in our society entail.

To develop satisfactorycommunication between homeand school to ensure thatteachers and parents areworking together for thewelfare of pupils.

by engaging in work and activities which will assist them to

make sense of their society, to make more sophisticated

appraisals of their own role in the world, and to cope with

the demands and pressures which that world imposes.

key quality indicators for schools identified by HMIe and the

national outcomes established by the Scottish Government.

Conveners Report

This year has again seen the School and the Board facing a number of challenges.The pressure on the school budget has remained and whilst the Board has not had to

implement difficult decisions, in terms of cutting service provision, on the scale faced in2011, there is little flexibility left. Unless future years see the school receiving an increasein funding, to cover the incremental increases in staff costs, the Board will almost certainlyneed to revisit the level of service provision.

Despite these financial pressures the Board has continued to oversee improvements to theschool hall, funded out of existing capital expenditure allocations. Parents and pupils have

already benefitted from the first stage of improvements including the balcony enabling more parents toattend events such as the excellent school concerts. This work is made even more important withimpending closure of the Strathclyde University campus which will mean that the School will no longer haveaccess to their hall from July 2012.

The Rector and I have continued to seek assurances from Strathclyde University about the future of theplaying fields. These playing fields are essential to sustain the balanced curriculum of the school and thewide range of extra-curricular activities which our children enjoy. This may well become an area wheremore parental involvement and support is needed if the school is unable to produce a satisfactoryconclusion in the near future.

In this my fourth year as Convener I have continued to try and ensure that all Board members feel able tocontribute and to develop their understanding of their role and the complexities of the school to supporteffective decision-making. The role of a Non Executive Board member of the school is not an easy one.We have to provide strategic guidance and support to the schools Executive while recognising that they

have to deal with the day-to day operational issues and that they will understand the educational issues ina way that we, as non educationalists, never will. We need to recognise how we can best support theExecutive and to know when it is important to challenge. Parents should also understand that the Boarddoes not engage in discussions about pupils or staff which might compromise their right to privacy. This isa challenging role and I would personally like to thank all the Board members and in particular the twoofficer bearers Robert Mellish, Deputy Convener and Gordon MacMillan, Treasurer for helping to ensure wemaintain the right balance.

As a board we have also tried to enhance communication with the other parents through the YourBoard section of the school e-bulletins.

The future for the school will continue to be challenging both in terms of the budget and the future ofthe playing fields. However I am confident that with a strong Board we can support the Rector and hisstaff to effectively manage these pressures.

Good luck and health to all and I hope I will see you in 2012-13 and especially at the AGM which we havere-scheduled in the hope of encouraging more parents to attend.

Rectors Report

Curriculum for Excellence has continued as the primary focus of the Schools work over the pastyear. The staff are to be commended for the diligence with which they have addressed the

challenges of implementing new programmes of work and devising new assessment instruments,and the care and attention which has gone into planning and writing reports for parents. TheSchool remains on track to implement CfE in line with the national timeline.

However, the cumulative effects of budget restrictions imposed by the Scottish Government from

2008 to 2012 have had a significant impact on staffing levels and on teacher numbers in

particular. Inevitably this has limited our capacity to offer personalisation and choice for pupils as

envisaged within the CfE design principles. The Board had to take some difficult decisions in

setting a budget for 2011-12 which would balance at year end and, even more importantly, provide a sound financial

base for future years. The decisions taken a year ago have meant that the Board has been able to set a budget for

2012-13 which maintains current levels of activity with no further reduction in service provision in the coming session.

In 2011-12 we have continued to develop our use of the web site and the subscription service as a channel of

communication with the school community. This has been a two-way process with a number of useful ideas coming

back to us from parents. The Board of Managers is keen to develop a wider understanding of its role amongst the

parent body. Following every Board meeting parents now receive a Your Board update within an e-bulletin. This

provides a more immediate and less formal insight than the formal minutes of meetings which are published on the

web site.

The future of the playing fields on the University of Strathclyde campus remains a key priority for the School.

Following an extended hiatus, discussions about the future management of the pitches have recently recommenced.

An immediate priority for the School is to ensure that a coherent plan is in place which will maintain the integrity of

the campus from July 2012 onwards when the University vacates the site. We also wish to see the playing fields

returned to more active use from August 2012 to meet demand from the School and the wider community.

In moving the Annual General Meeting to September the Board hopes that more parents will attend. Jordanhill Schoolis unique in the level of transparency in the way it operates and its accountability to parents. It is important that thewider parent body has an understanding of the implications of the budget, Curriculum for Excellence and the future ofthe playing fields. I do hope you will be able to attend.

I should like to thank the Board and wider parent body for their support over the past year and all the staff of the

school for their efforts and cooperation in managing our way through challenging times. Despite these challenges I

believe that Jordanhill School continues to offer one of the best learning environments in the country.

through to S3

Mapping of the actual pathways of three cohorts of

pupils through the senior phase and beyond schoolCurriculum and staffing plans for all possible models of

the senior phase

Due to our unique structure, pupils at Jordanhill enjoy a broad

general education phase (BGE) over 4 years from P6 to S2. We do

not see the dip in performance in upper Primary and lower

Secondary reported nationally. Indeed the opposite is evident.

The studies undertaken do not reveal any potential gains for our

young people by extending the BGE to the end of S3 or by altering

the number or level of subjects which pupils can access in S4 andbeyond.

The School has therefore adopted the policy set out in the

Pathways from S2 leaflet which you can read on our CfE web

page.

Staff surveys of readiness to implement CfE indicate a high

degree of comfort in implementing the Experiences and

Outcomes (Es&Os) of CfE and in deploying a wide range of

pedagogical practices.

The embedding of the Es&Os has continued this session along

with the further development of assessment and reporting

regimes.

The national picture continues to evolve. If, in particular, HE,

colleges and employers start to reshape their expectations of

school leavers, then we shall re-examine our structures to ensure

that we continue to offer an experience that best meets the

needs of our learners.

National Outcomes

10. We live in well-designed, sustainable

places where we are able to access the

amenities and services we need.

14. We reduce the local and global

environmental impact of our consumption

and production.

Supporting Young People

Over a sustained period the School Improvement Plan has

focused on improving learners experiences and our capacity to

meet their needs through systematic investment in stafftraining and development, reshaping the culture of the

organisation and creating an environment supportive of the

aims of CfE.

The school is committed to providing all pupils with

opportunities to develop the four capacities to a high level:

outdoor and residential education; international trips; learning

for life and work including community service; Scottish

Baccalaureate and Leadership awards; music, arts and sports.

Pupils are offered a very extensive range of opportunities.

Curriculum structures from P6 to S4 are designed to ensure

positive transitions and viable progression routes for learners

in all areas in the senior phase and at the same time sustain

minority needs. There is a particular focus on developing

leadership and personal skills culminating in the Learning to

Lead options in S5/S6.

Pupils with additional support needs benefit from structured

planning on an individual basis: Group, Personal and Additional

Support Plans and care plans in the case of pupils with

significant health issues. The work of the Joint Support Teamprovides a context to shape this support for individuals.

Over the past year we have strengthened our partnership

arrangements with Skills Development Scotland, Glasgow

Regeneration Agency, Glasgow Vocational Training and the 16+

Learning Choices team to develop and offer a wider range of

routes from school for young people.

The School has seen a doubling of expressions of interest for entry to S5/S6 in the last two sessions. In response our

applications process has been streamlined and an open evening introduced.

Despite the difficult economic environment, the School has been able to take forward its capital investment

programme. Phase 1 of the Hall redevelopment project was completed on schedule with phase 2 following in the

summer of 2012 as reported in the March 2012 edition of the Journal.

A refurbishment of the infant department entrance and corridors was completed in April 2012. This continued the

programme of door replacement and redecoration which sees the oak and glass theme of the south campus being

replicated. This reflects the Schools wider policy of transparency in all aspects of its work.

In promoting flexible learning, a suite of 40 ruggedised notebooks was purchased for use in P6 and P7.

Consequently pupils in P3 to P5 will have greater access to the existing sets of radio laptops. Additional laptops have

also been purchased to meet demand from Secondary departments in the south campus.

Achievement and Attainment

In 2011 attainment at Higher was much better than anticipated while performance in S4 dipped as expected. The

cumulative attainment of pupils by the end of S6 continues at levels well above all comparators as the box plots

below indicate. It is particularly pleasing to note the increasing levels of uptake and success at Advanced Higher since2004. We will be able to offer an update on attainment in 2012 at the AGM in September.

Service Quality

The School Improvement web page offers an overview of our

rigorous planning and quality assurance procedures. The internal

planning cycle is complemented by a series of internal and external

benchmarking exercises.

At school and departmental level the processes of planning, review,

audit and classroom observation form a mutually supportive cycle

underpinned by a focus on evidence of impact. A set of transparent

mechanisms operate through the portal which allow colleagues tolearn from each other.

Throughout 2011-12 the School has undertaken a range of external

reviews. A summary of the findings of the 4th

Primary Parents

Survey completed last session was published at the start of session.

Jordanhill School remains the only school in Scotland to hold the

prestigious ICT Mark following the review undertaken by NAACE in

November 2011. A feature article on the schools work with ICT

appeared in the Times Educational Supplement Scotland following

this award.

The school has now been invited to apply for the 3rd

Millennium

Learning Award which celebrates schools' achievements in creating

an environment and curriculum that stimulate more and better

learning, making full use of the opportunities presented by

technology.

Following our first Going Greenweek in June the School was

awarded a second green flag in November. New infant and upper

Primary play areas were installed as part of our eco/active school

strategy.

Equality and InclusionSurveys of pupil and parental perceptions regularly confirm

that our school has a climate of trust, respect andconfidence.

The Care, Welfare and Development needs of all pupils are

managed by the Primary Management and Pastoral Care

teams. All staff receive regular training and support.

Primary managers and Pastoral Care colleagues are trained

to deal with complex issues. Secondary Tutors are trained in

Restorative Practice, Child Protection, Introduction to

Counselling and all teach Personal Social and Health

Education.

Cyberbullying

The Pupil Council re-launched their cybersafety campaign

Say It to My Face.com in February 2012 to coincide with the

national Safer Internet Day.

The pupils created anInternet Safetyweb page which offers

parents access to advice on keeping children safe and other

support targeted at both Primary and Secondary age pupils.

Primary 7 created a film showcasing the animations and

posters which they have produced to highlight this issue.

You can view their work on ourInternet Safetypage.

We would encourage all parents to view these materials

and to talk to their children about treating others with

respect and keeping themselves safe.

Equality Schemes

A draft Single Equality Schemefor the school was approved

by the Board for consultation in March 2012. This brings

together the separate schemes for disability, gender and

race which have existed hitherto.

We would be pleased to receive any comments on the

scheme, particularly Pages 6 and 7 which deal with the

impact ofthe schools policies on pupils.

Senior staff will also be talking to groups of pupils, including

the Pupil Councils, about the scheme and the survey of

secondary parents (March 2012) will again analyse

responses by gender and ethnicity.

National Outcomes

11. We have strong, resilient and supportive

communities where people take responsibility fortheir own actions and how they affect others.

13. We take pride in a strong, fair and inclusive

national identity.

Report of the managers for the year ended 31 March 2012

The managers have pleasure in submitting their report and financial statements of the company,

Registered Charity Number SC004463 and Registered Company Number SC108625 for the year

ended 31 March 2012. The managers confirm that these financial statements have been prepared in

compliance with the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Accounting

and Reporting by Charities issued in February 2005. The financial statements should be read in

conjunction with the Annual Report.

Objectives and activities

The principal charitable activity is the provision of educational services. Grants have been received

from The Scottish Government Education Department with regard to all normal operating costs. This

funding will continue until 31 March 2013.

A grant has been received during the year from the Scottish Arts Council towards sustaining the P6

targets, further developing overall music provision and providing equal opportunity of access.

Structure, governance and management

Jordanhill School is a company limited by guarantee and governed by its Memorandum and Articles

of Association. It is registered as a charity with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. The

School was founded in 1920 and has a unique status, funded by a direct grant from the Scottish

Government Education Department under the Jordanhill School Grant Regulations 1988. It is neither

a local authority school nor a private independent school. No fees are paid and there is no academic

selection of pupils.

The companys affairs are administered by a board of managers. This consists of a maximum of

seven elected parent members, three staff members nominated by the Staff Association, three co-

opted members and ex-officio, the Rector and the elected Glasgow City Councillor for the ward in

which the School is included.

Managers

The managers in office during the year are shown on page 1 of these financial statements. In

accordance with The Articles of Association, Mr Robert Mellish and Mrs Anne Gillespies first terms

of office are complete and they will stand for re-election. C Mason will complete his term of office on

the Board as his term of office as City Councillor for Ward 12, Partick West is now complete. Mr

John Anderson will complete his terms of office with the Board. With the exception of the ex-officio

members, managers serve a maximum of two terms of office. The managers have the right to co-opt

managers. New managers are given induction training appropriate to their roles.

Related parties

The School regards the Jordanhill School Educational Amenities Trust as a related party.

Tax status

The company, which is a company limited by guarantee, enjoys charitable status for tax purposes

and is therefore exempt from corporation tax.

Report of the managers for the year ended 31 March 2012 (contd)

Result and business review

The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 7.

The School is funded by The Scottish Government Education Department on a cash basis. The

financial statements have been prepared on the accruals basis of accounting which includes

expenses incurred but not yet paid for at the year end.

Income from recurring grants decreased by 1.98% from 5,435,019 to 5,329,764. The School also

received a special repair grant of 149,998 (2011: 200,000). Letting charges have decreased from

35,678 to 23,666. Income from letting is mainly from letting out the Games Hall at Anniesland

Road to local clubs and organisations.

The School Roll at 31 March 2012 was 462 primary and 594 secondary pupils.

All teaching posts are currently filled.

Other operating and governance costs have decreased by 171,599 during the year. This has

resulted in an operating surplus of 15,401 (2011: 897). Taking into account the interest gained of

823 (2011: 622) gives a total Surplus for the year of 16,224 (2011: 1,519).

Transfer to reserves

The excess of incoming resources over outgoing resources of 16,224 (2010:1,519) will be added

to reserves which now stand at 211,622 (2011: 195,400).

RiskThe managers review the Schools key risks annually as part of the strategic review and assess the

key strategic, business and operational risks to which the School is exposed. Under the control of the

Rector and Bursar, systems have been established to mitigate identified risks.

Investment policy

The managers adopt a low risk approach to investment. Surplus funds are available only for a short

term in view of the timing of expenditure related to grant income and such cash is placed on short

term deposit with the companys banker. No stocks or equities are held.

Reserves policy

The managers policy on restricted funds is to separately record all projects funded by grants andother sources of fundraising where restrictions are imposed that are narrower than the charitys

overall objectives. All such incoming resources are normally utilised in the year for their intended

purposes. The income and expenditure for any projects that receive restricted funding is included in

the restricted fund. The managers do not have a policy of designating unrestricted funds for specific

purposes.

Report of the managers for the year ended 31 March 2012 (contd)

Statement of trustees responsibilities in respect of the financial statements

The managers are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in

accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the managers to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under

that law the managers have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United

Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and

applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state

of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.

In preparing those financial statements, the managers are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any

material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to

presume that; the company will continue in business, in which case there should be

supporting assumptions or qualifications as necessary.

The managers confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the

financial statements.

The managers are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable

accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the

financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for

safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention

and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Auditors and disclosure of information to auditors

Each manager, as at the date of this report, has confirmed that insofar as they are aware there is no

relevant audit information (that is, information needed by the companys auditors in connection with

preparing their report) of which the companys auditors are unaware, and they have taken all the

steps that they ought to have taken as a manager in order to make themselves aware of any relevantaudit information and to establish that the companys auditors are aware of that information.

A resolution to reappoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors to the company will be proposed

at the Annual General Meeting.

which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure

Account, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement, the Accounting Policies and the related

notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law

and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice).

Respective responsibilities of trustees and auditors

As explained more fully in the Trustees Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the trustees

(who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company

law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that

they give a true and fair view.

Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance

with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards

require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Boards Ethical Standards for Auditors.

This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the charitys members as a

body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose.

We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to anyother person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly

agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements

sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material

misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the

accounting policies are appropriate to the charitable companys circumstances and have been

consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting

estimates made by the trustees; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition,we read all the financial and non-financial information in the managers report to identify material

inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material

misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Accounting policies

Basis of accounts preparationThe financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost

convention and in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards and the Statement of

Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities: the Charities SORP 2005.

The School is funded by the Scottish Government Education Department on a cash basis. The

financial statements have been prepared on the accruals basis of accounting which includes

expenses incurred but not yet paid for at the year end.

Income

Income comprises Scottish Government Education Department Grants, Scottish Arts Council Grant,

refectory sales and School letting charges. Fees receivable and charges for services and use of

premises are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided.

Fixed assets

The properties utilised by the School were formally transferred to the company on 6 February 1992

at no cost. However there is a reversionary clause in the feu contract in favour of the Scottish

Government should the School cease to operate at any time in the future.

The Scottish Government grants include provision for the acquisition, renewal and upkeep of fixed

assets required by the company for its operations. Income and expenditure relating to fixed assets

are, therefore, dealt with in the Income and Expenditure Account under appropriate headings and

are not classified as fixed assets in the balance sheet.

Depreciation is provided from the point that assets are brought into use, to write of the cost of thetangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic life as follows:

Heritable Property - 50 years

The depreciation is recorded against both the assets and the asset repayment provision so no

charge is made against income and expenditure.

The company holds no heritage assets.

StocksStocks are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value on a first in, first out basis.

Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the SOFA on a straight line basis.

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Overhead and other costs not directly attributable

to particular functional activity categories are apportioned over the relevant categories on the basis

of management estimates of the amount attributable to that activity in the year, either by reference to

staff time or space occupied, as appropriate. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the

item of expense to which it relates.

Governance costs comprise the costs of running the Charity, including strategic planning for its

future development, external audit, any legal advice for the School managers, and all the costs of

complying with constitutional and statutory requirements, such as the costs of managers meetings

and of preparing statutory accounts and satisfying public accountability.

4 Managers remuneration

Certain managers of the company are remunerated in respect of their positions as teaching staff of

the school under their contracts of employment. No manager receives any remuneration as a

director of the company or trustee of the charity as these services are performed in a voluntary

capacity (2011: Nil).

No retirement benefits are accruing to managers in relation to them in their position as manager.

5 Fixed assets

In accordance with fixed assets accounting policy, we record any depreciation or other reduction in

value charged against fixed assets funded by the Scottish Government against both the assets and

the asset repayment provision, so that we do not make a charge against the income and expenditure

account.

As at 31 March 2010, the managers had the Schools heritable properties professionally re-valued by

Rydens, chartered Surveyors on a Depreciated Replacement Cost Basis. The method is a more

accurate reflection of the value of the schools properties than the previous basis of insurance

replacement value.

15 Pension arrangements

The Charity has members of staff who participate in two multi-employer pension schemes, namely

the Scottish Teachers Superannuation Scheme and the Local Government Superannuation Scheme.

Given that these are both multi-employer schemes, the Charity has taken the exemption applicable

in line with FRS 17.

15 Contingent liabilities

As part of the acquisition of the heritable property at Anniesland (see note 5 above), the terms and

conditions attaching to an award of 420,731 to the former owners from Sportscotland from the

National Lottery Fund have been assigned to the School. The award may be repayable in full or in

part if any of the contract terms attaching to the award are breached during the period to 31 August

2021. In the opinion of the managers, such an outcome is unlikely and no provision is made for this

contingent liability.


29/29


16 Related party transactions

The managers regard the Education Amenities Trust Fund (the Trust) as a related party as there

are Trustees who are also Managers of the Board of Jordanhill School , but there is no overall

controlling interest. During the year to 31 March 2012, the Trust donated 17,449 (2011: 21,277) to

the School. At the end of the year, 453,478 (2011: 335,311) was set aside by the Trust for events

activities and charities associated with Jordanhill School. Full details are set out in the Trust Fund

Report which is sent separately to parents.
