The recent statutory consultation proposing the realignment of primary and secondary school catchment boundaries in the Currie and Balerno areas has been published (21/02/19).
The report recommends that City of Edinburgh Council approves the proposals outlined in the statutory consultation paper. However, it also recommends that a guarantee be offered to the siblings of pupils living in the affected areas so that they may attend the same school as their elder sibling if they wish to do so.

If the recommendations in the report are approved at the CEC meeting on Thursday, 14 March 2019, the proposed catchment changes would be implemented from the start of the new academic year in August 2019. Pupils attending or registering with a school prior to the start of the new academic year in August 2019 will be unaffected by the proposed changes.
The full Outcome of the Consultation report is available to download and read on the consultation hub website at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/swcatchmentreview, where you can also find the full statutory consultation paper and a list of addresses affected by the proposed catchment changes.
Reference copies of the report are available in the affected schools, at Central Library, Currie Library, Balerno Library, Ratho Library and the Council office in Waverley Court.
It is important to recognise at this stage that no final decision has been made and that this will be made by Councillors at the Council meeting on 14 March 2019. A note of the final decision is published on the website following the meeting.
