Agreed by the Lifelong Learning Committee on 26 August 2015.
Perth and Kinross is one of the fastest growing areas of Scotland. This requires the provision of services in appropriate locations to meet the increasing needs of the expanding population, resulting in the requirement to invest in new infrastructure, including schools.
As a result, Report No 14/464 (PDF, 258 KB) presented a Proposal Paper (PDF, 195 KB) to the Lifelong Learning Executive Sub Committee on 26 November 2014. The Committee approved to commence formal consultation on the proposal to establish Additional Support Needs Specialist provision in Errol Primary School with effect from August 2016. This will be undertaken in line with the requirements of the School (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010.
The consultation period will run from Wednesday 7 January 2015 until Friday 27 February 2015.
A public notice (PDF, 27 KB) has been placed in the local press.
