Overview

Significant new housing development is proposed within West Edinburgh.  As school roll projections show that pupils from the new housing will lead to school accommodation pressures by 2022, it is necessary to progress a statutory consultation in order that a new primary school in the area can be delivered.  A site within the ‘Maybury’ housing development site to the west of Maybury Road has been identified.

As well as establishing a catchment area for the new school, the proposal includes changes to the catchment areas of:

  • Corstorphine Primary School; 
  • Cramond Primary School; 
  • Hillwood Primary School; 
  • Craigmount High School; and
  • The Royal High School.

The full details of the proposal are available in the statutory consultation paper.  A summary paper, current and proposed school catchment areas, and a list of directly affected addresses can also be accessed from the links to related documents at the bottom of this page.

Why We Are Consulting

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.
