Achfary Primary School – Consultation on Closure
There will be a public meeting on 26 April 2016 at 7:00 pm to discuss the proposed closure of Achfary Primary School.
Highland Council is seeking the views of local communities on the future of Achfary Primary School, which has been mothballed since the summer of 2012.
Under the proposal children would attend Kinlochbervie Primary School, which is around 15 miles away. In practice pupils from the Achfary area have been attending either Kinlochbervie Primary School or Scourie Primary School since July 2012.
The views of parents, school pupils, the local community and others will be sought over a period extending from 11 April to 24 May 2016.
Several documents are available for viewing or downloading.
The full proposal report can be viewed here: Achfary Proposal Paper
