Recommendation to Highland Council to discontinue education provision at Inverasdale Primary School

A recommendation to discontinue education provision at the currently mothballed Inverasdale Primary School will be presented to the next meeting of The Highland Council on 17 December for Members’ consideration.

Members of the Council’s Education, Children’s and Adult Services (ECAS) Committee have today (11 Nov 2015) agreed to recommend to the Council that the Authority discontinues education provision at Inverasdale and re-assigns its catchment area to Poolewe Primary school.

Members of the ECAS Committee considered the outcome of the statutory consultation and representations received. The Final Report and associated papers are on the Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/InverasdaleandPoolewe

Inverasdale Primary School has been mothballed since the end of the session in 2011-12.

Following decision by the full Highland Council, if ratified, the Council will then advise Scottish Government Ministers of the decision reached and follow procedures as required by legislation.
