At the end of the consultation period, Scottish Borders Council will provide copies of the responses (or if agreed a summary) to Education Scotland along with a summary of all oral representations made at the public meeting. Education Scotland will then visit the school(s) and meet with parents/carers, pupils and staff to discuss the proposal(s).

After receiving the Education Scotland report, Scottish Borders Council will review the proposal taking account of all the written and oral representations and the Education Scotland report.
