Overview
The Council aims to provide catchment school places for pupils living within a catchment area. New housing developments are progressing within the Queensferry Primary School catchment area but there will not be enough capacity at the school to accommodate the additional pupils.
It is proposed that the catchment boundary between Queensferry Primary School and Echline Primary School will be realigned so that existing housing areas currently within the catchment area of Queensferry Primary School become part of the catchment area of Echline Primary School. The catchment changes will only apply to new P1 pupils.
The proposal is to make sure that there are places at Queensferry Primary School for new P1 pupils living within its catchment area, including those from early phases of the new housing.
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.
