The Education Department has recently been consulting on three proposals in
line with the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. The proposals were:
- to relocate Rosebank Primary School, Our Lady’s Primary School and Frances Wright Pre-School Centre to a new shared campus site with shared community facilities in the Coldside area;
- to discontinue Hillside and Gowriehill Primary Schools and build a new 3 stream primary school incorporating a provision to replace Menzieshill Nursery School; and
- to build a community campus on the site of the existing Baldragon Academy on a phased basis to include Baldragon Academy, Sidlaw View Primary School and Jessie Porter Nursery School.
- an explanation of how the proposal has been reviewed;
- the full text of the Education Scotland (HMIe) report which considers the educational aspects of the proposal;
- a summary of the points raised during the proposal (written and oral) and the authority’s response to them;
