Consultation on P7-S1 Admissions Policy

A consultation on the local authority’s admissions policy has been launched. The proposal is to make a limited variation to the School Admission Policy for Perth and Kinross Council schools from school session 2020/2021. The limited changes relate to ensuring pupils living in Perth and Kinross are awarded appropriate priority for school places and pupils transferring to secondary school from feeder primaries are awarded appropriate priority.

This policy will affect the children, young people and families of our school, so I ask those with an interest to share your views. The consultation can be accessed here:

This consultation closes on 24 January 2020.
