Report by Head Teacher of Oban High School

The Committee considered a report from Oban High School which is their school profile for 2015/16.

The Chair advised that unfortunately Mr Bain, Head Teacher of Oban High School could not attend this meeting but confirmed that if any Members had any questions Mr Bain could deal with these directly.

Councillor MacLean advised the Committee that he recently attended a meeting with Oban High School Parent Council where a discussion took place on the possibility of teacher numbers being reduced.  He confirmed this is the same scenario which happened in 2013 and would like to know what the figure would be for maintaining teacher numbers.  The Area Committee Manager agreed to contact Mr Bain regarding this.

The Committee recognised the School’s success in achieving an Investors in People Gold Award.

Decision

The Committee unanimously noted the contents of the report and agreed to hold a Special Area Committee for this item if necessary to discuss teacher numbers.
