New Gaelic Medium catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar

Members of the Highland Council’s Care, learning and Housing Committee have agreed to recommend to The Highland Council to create a new Gaelic Medium catchment area for Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar, as outlined in a public consultation which took place earlier this year.

In line with Statutory Guidance on Gaelic Medium Education, the Council sought the views of local communities in the catchment areas affected by the proposal. The consultation took place under procedures set down in The Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. 

Parents, pupils and the wider community views were sought from 29 January to 16 March 2018 and a public meeting was held in Fort William on 27 February 2018.
