All the responses received during the Future Secondary Provision for the Kirkliston and Queensferry Areas engagement have been read and analysed.
A report summarising the responses received has been produced and will be considered by the Council’s Education, Children and Families Committee on 27 April 2023.
A copy of the full committee report including recommendations and the summary response report is available below.
Queensferry High School does not have capacity to accommodate new housing developments in Queensferry.
Queensferry High School has capacity for 1,200 pupils. The school may exceed that capacity in 2025 and need to accommodate nearly 1,800 pupils by 2035.
We think possible solutions could be to:
We would like your views on what the best solution would be for your community.
We would also like to know if there are community services or facilities you think could be provided by a new building.

We want to hear from people to generate ideas and develop a plan for secondary school provision in the Kirkliston and Queensferry areas. All ideas are welcome and anyone can send us their thoughts.
We will capture people’s views and ideas in a report that we will share with you in February 2023.
The report will recommend next steps informed by the views and ideas we receive.
The report will be considered by Councillors at the Education, Children and Families Committee in March 2023.
If people think that extending Queensferry High School is the best solution, then we will begin a new discussion with the community about what the design should include.
If people think that pupils from the Kirkliston area attending a new school would be the best solution, then we will continue our work with the Kirkliston community to develop this proposal further.
