Why are we consulting?
Perth and Kinross Council Lifelong Learning Committee has approved a new build primary school to be located at Bertha Park adjacent to Bertha Park High School. A catchment needs to be created for the new primary school. The catchment review will also consider the future of Ruthvenfield Primary School.
You can view a chronology of decisions including reports that have been presented to Perth and Kinross Council's Lifelong Learning Committee in relation to the Strategic Sites under the School Estate Transformation Programme.
An informal pre-consultation exercise is being undertaken between 3 May 2021 and 16 May 2021 to gather the views of parents/carers and the wider community who will be impacted as a result of the formation of a new catchment area for the new school primary school and the future of Ruthvenfield Primary School.
The information you provide will inform the options appraisal which will be presented to the Council's Lifelong Learning Committee. Any information you provide, and which is included within the options appraisal will be anonymised to ensure no individual can be identified.
After the options appraisal, a Statutory Consultation will need to take place.
What do I need to know?
A video is available which provides an introduction and explains in more detail the need for the new primary school, the informal pre-consultation process and timescales involved.
Additional information on the proposals depending on which school catchment area you live in is detailed in the following videos.
If you are not sure which school catchment area you live in an interactive map is available. There is also a video showing how to use the interactive maps.
- Luncarty Primary School Catchment Area
- Ruthvenfield Primary School Catchment Area
- Tulloch Primary School Catchment Area
This video shows some of our recent school projects and will give you an indication of our approach to building a new primary school.
If you wish for a transcript of any of the videos, please contact ECSResources@pkc.gov.uk.
Let us know your views
We are gathering information through an online questionnaire.
If after viewing the videos, you have any questions or queries in relation to the informal consultation please email ECSResources@pkc.gov.uk.
What happens next?
The options appraisal will be presented to the Council's Lifelong Learning Committee in August 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Answers to any frequently asked questions received during the consultation will be made available to view. A summary of the responses from the informal pre-consultation exercise will be made available on this website once they are available.
