South West School Catchment Review: Update

11/29/2018

1 Comment

 
Time is quickly running out to respond to City of Edinburgh Council's current review of school catchment areas in the South West of the city, namely the realignment of the catchment for Currie Primary School, Nether Currie Primary School, Dean Park Primary School, Currie High School and Balerno High School.

Balerno Community Council has recently responded to the consultation - the catchment area review is a high priority, and features prominently in the community council's draft community plan.

You can read BCC's response in full here.

BCC strongly recommends reading the material associated with the review and submitting a response to CEC.

During the consultation period, any views on the catchment review's proposal should be sent in writing to CEC (Alistair Gaw, Executive Director of Communities and Families City of Edinburgh Council, Council Headquarters, Waverley Court. Level 1:2, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8BG) or by e-mail to [email protected].  All views whether by letter, e-mail or using the online questionnaire should arrive by 5pm on Monday 3 December 2018.

Further information and the full statutory consultation paper and an online questionnaire are available at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/swcatchmentreview.  Copies of the full statutory consultation paper are also available for inspection at Currie and Balerno libraries and at the schools affected by the proposals.

Keep the West side eg Newmills and Cherry Tree as it is. You shouldn’t be splitting children up who already attend school. It is too far and unsafe to force them to walk to Dean Park. Don’t split up a community. Also you shouldn’t not be splitting simblings up either. This is outrageous. I am completely against these proposals.
