Overview

UPDATE March 2020

The 'Outcome of Consultation Report' was reported to the City of Edinburgh Council at its meeting on 12 March 2020.

The Council's decision was to approve the school catchment changes outlined in the statutory consultation paper.

The full decision can be found in the minutes of the Council meeting and you can watch how the Council reached its decision from the web-cast library. 

BACKGROUND

The proposal is to extend the catchment areas of Clovenstone Primary School, Sighthill Primary School and Wester Hailes Education Centre to better align any future housing developments with available school capacity and address some geographic anomalies in existing catchment boundaries.

There are no residential addresses currently registered in the areas affected.

The proposed catchment changes also affect Currie Primary School, Gylemuir Primary School, Broomhouse Primary School, Juniper Green Primary School, Forrester High School and Currie High School.

The full details of the proposal are available in the statutory consultation paper.  A summary paper has also been provided. 

Why your views matter

The Council has a legal obligation to carry out a statutory consultation under the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 as amended by the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. The proposal put forward will have implications for families and we want to hear the views of anyone affected.
