Review of the proposal to change the catchment boundary between Inverlochy primary school and Lundavra primary school 

We have published the Final Consultation Report into our proposal to change the current catchment boundary between Inverlochy Primary School and Lundavra Primary School.

The public consultation ran from 6 February 2017 to 23 March 2017.

The Final Consultation Report is to be submitted to the Highland Council’s People Committee on 23 August 2017.

The Director of Care and Learning has reviewed:

• All of the submissions
• The note of the meeting
• The Education Scotland report

The Director has concluded the proposal offers educational benefits and should be implemented.  He will recommend this to the Committee.

Full details of the reasons for the recommendation are contained within the Final Report and associated papers, which can be accessed using the link below.

Between now and 17 August 2017, members of the public are invited to provide comments which will be tabled at the meeting of the People Committee. This will allow Elected Members to take into account any further representations in relation to the recommendation contained within the Consultation Report before agreeing a decision.

You are invited to forward any written comments on the consultation report to Mr Ian Jackson, Area Care and Learning Office, Camaghael Hostel, Fort William PH33 7NE or by email to CLLochaberAdmin@highland.gov.uk no later than Thursday 17 August 2017.
