Results updated 30 Oct 2024

Thanks to all of those who provided feedback.  We're currently finalising the outcome report with the view to put the recommendation to full Council in December.

Overview

The Council is proposing the establishment of a new non-denominational primary school and nursery on a site in the Gilmerton Station Road housing development in South East Edinburgh.

Your views will help inform the final decisions about the delivery of a new school and its catchment area.  The catchment changes proposed affect Gilmerton Primary School, Liberton High School, and Gracemount High School.

The consultation paper sets out the rationale for, and implications of, the proposal which has been developed to address future demand for places from the new housing developments in South East Edinburgh. The paper also sets out the consultation process and the means and timescales for making representations. Existing school catchment areas and proposed catchment areas are set out in the paper appendices. 

Why your views matter

The Council has a legal obligation to conduct 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. All comments made during the statutory consultation period will be recorded and represented in a final report anticipated to be considered by Council on 19 December 2024.
