Gergask Primary School
We have been seeking the views of local communities on the future of Gergask Primary School, which has been mothballed since September 2022.
Our proposal is to discontinue the provision of education at Gergask Primary, and to reallocate its catchment area to that of Newtonmore Primary School.
The views of parents, school pupils, the local community and others were sought over a period extending from 18 September 2023 to 10 November 2023. A public meeting was held on 3 October in Laggan Community Hall.
The public consultation period has now closed. We will be consulting with Education Scotland from 20 November to 8 December.
