New Gaelic Medium Primary Unit for the Glen Urquhart area

[BobsYourUncle]

It's just a small unit of a few kids so far within the main school, hopefully it will grow as more choose it. There's one Gaelic speaking teacher for the unit and we're expecting a new teaching assistant tomorrow and the idea is that the teaching will be done in Gaelic or mainly so.

This is an intriguing development. Could you keep us posted about your son's experiences there? And how widespread are Gaelic medium programs? Are they running all over Scotland? Thanks, BYU

We went to our first parent / teacher meeting the other night which was our first chance to really talk about how the unit works in practice and our son was proud to show us round his school. We were very impressed with the teaching and how his small Gaelic unit fitted in with the rest of the school as well as how efforts were being made to make a bit of Gaelic accessible to the other pupils at the school.
I don't know how many Gaelic Medium Education units there are throughout Scotland but they're not uncommon and the numbers are growing.
