School Estate - Proposals and Consultations

 

School Estate - Proposals and Consultations

As part of its ongoing investment in the school estate, the Council has created six new community campuses through the Investment in Learning project, as well as allocating capital resources to a number of other important Service construction projects.

As well as investing, the Council must also review its school estate.  Part of the review looks at the educational benefits a school provides for every pupil, in terms of:

• a range of social and emotional experiences
• an enriched and broad learning experience
• the best possible education which meets the needs of all learners

Following a recent review, further assessments of plans for the future of four schools have been examined, with the following outcomes agreed by the Council's Lifelong Learning Committee on 31 August 2011: 

• Logiealmond Primary School - remains open with ongoing monitoring of pupil roll
• Straloch Primary School - deferment of formal consultation on closure proposals - school 'mothballed'
• Strone of Cally Primary School - move to formal closure which has now been approved by Scottish Ministers
• Struan Primary School - deferment of formal consultation on closure proposals - school 'mothballed'

In addition to these reviews, the Council's Lifelong Learning Committee on 11 January 2012 agreed to commence formal consultations on proposals to amend the catchment areas for the following schools:

• Logiealmond
• Arngask
