Victoria Primary on the move?

A statutory consultation on a proposal to relocate Victoria Primary School to a new building in the Western Harbour and undertake catchment changes in the Western Harbour and North Leith areas of the city has begun. The public consultation period will run until 5pm on Friday 17 March.

The proposal in the statutory consultation paper principally affects Victoria Primary School and Trinity Primary School.  The paper also proposes very minor catchment changes for Holy Cross RC Primary School, Trinity Academy and St Thomas of Aquin’s RC High School.

Further information including the full statutory consultation paper, background papers and an online questionnaire are available at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/newvictoriaschool.  Copies of the statutory consultation paper are available for inspection at the Council Offices at Waverley Court, at Leith Library, at Central Library and at the schools affected by the proposals.
