Overview

The Council is proposing the establishment of a new non-denominational primary school and nursery in the Granton Waterfront Development area in the north of Edinburgh.

A catchment area for the new school formed from sections of Pirniehall and Granton Primary Schools existing catchments is proposed. It is also proposed that the new primary school is aligned with Craigroyston Community High School.

The catchment changes proposed also include a realignment of catchments between Craigroyston Primary School and Pirniehall Primary School, including removing the current dual feeder primary school catchment area.

The implementation of this proposal would result in changes to the catchment areas of Craigroyston Primary School, Granton Primary School, Pirniehall Primary School, Broughton High School, and Craigroyston Community 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 redevelopment of the Granton Waterfront area and changes in demand across north 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.
