When the Council makes a recommendation that will impact the school estate, we must consult with parents, children, young people and the wider community. This includes changes to close schools or change a school's catchment area.

The Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 sets out the process we must follow. In line with this process, we have provided a proposal paper, which is attached below. We must then consult for at least six weeks, and this must include at least thirty days when schools are open for children and young people.

This phase of the consultation is information only until after the summer holidays. On the 15 September, the consultation will be open to feedback so you have a chance to let us know your views.

A further letter about the consultation with details of a public meeting will be sent to all stakeholders at the beginning of the new school term.
