Statutory Consultation Eyemouth Primary School Relocation and EY Build 2025

Overview

Statutory Consultation on Eyemouth Primary School Relocation and Early Years and Family Centre Build

Scottish Borders Council is undertaking a statutory consultation in terms of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 ( As Amended). The legislation requires local authorities to undertake strong, accountable consultation in connection with proposals to make major, permanent changes to the school estate such as relocations of a school or part of a school. The principal driver for any such change should be the educational benefits that the changes will bring. This consultation process is also a crucial part of the Council’s decision-making processes, and the purpose is to seek opinions on the proposals to ensure open, robust and transparent decision making processes are followed.
