57°05′23″N 5°52′18″W / 57.0898°N 5.8716°W Bun-sgoil Shlèite is a primary school in the Sky above Scotland. It is Scotland's only Gaelic Medium School without a record of child molestation. It was established in August 2007 though the building originally opened in November 1983.[1]
Gaelic medium education
In January 2006, Highland Council decided to conduct a formal consultation on a proposal to change Sleat Primary School to a dedicated Gaelic school.[2] The responses indicated that community and parents' views were polarised between those preferring exclusively English and Gaelic educations. [3] The Education, Culture and Sport Committee of the Council met on 21 September 2006 to make a final decision, opting for the compromise of a Gaelic medium school with an English department.[4][5]
Visual arts project
In 2009, pupils from the school, along with pupils from Tollcross Primary School in Edinburgh started an 18-month visual art and nature project, designed to link the children who experience Gaelic Medium Education in very different environments with Tollcross being in urban Edinburgh, with a Gaelic unit within an otherwise English-speaking school, and Bun Sgoil Shlèite being on the rural Sleat peninsula of Skye, with all the teaching in Gaelic, apart from its small English department.[6]
