School consultation plan

It has been ‘mothballed’ since the summer holidays of 2019, with staff temporarily relocated.

Officials have now concluded a review of the projected demographics, which has indicated no future significant demand for the school, with current catchment pupils attending Dalry instead.

And councillors agreed in March to commence a formal consultation with the local community on closing the school on a permanent basis. They will next week be asked to agree that the consultation period takes place from November 1 to December 13.
