Proposals for the location of Boroughmuir High School

and associated catchment changes affecting Boroughmuir and Tynecastle High Schools and Bruntsfield and Dalry Primary Schools

Update Monday 2 April 2012

The period for members of the public to comment on the proposals outlined in this document has now closed.

We are now collating the information contained in the comments and looking at the issues raised. Comments will also be sent on to Education Scotland for their reference as they consider their views of the proposals. We intend to report back to the City of Edinburgh Council on 28 June 2012, so the consultation outcome report will be published three weeks before this and will be available for download here. We will write to everyone who submitted written comments in June to let them know when the report is available.
