CSOH 41 P767/19 OPINION of LADY WISE in the Petition of PERTH
OUTER HOUSE, COURT OF SESSION [2020] CSOH 41 P767/19 OPINION OF LADY WISE In the Petition of PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL Petitioner: for Judicial Review of a decision by the Scottish Ministers to issue a call-in notice under the schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 Against THE SCOTTISH MINISTERS Respondent: Petitioner: Mure QC: Brodies Respondent: Ross QC; Charteris: Scottish Government Legal Directorate 7 May 2020 Introduction [1] The petitioner is a local authority which, like all Scottish local authorities, has a duty to organise and provide education in its area and in performing those functions is properly described as an education authority. One of the primary schools within the petitioner’s area of responsibility is Abernyte Primary School (“Abernyte”). The school is a rural school, situated within the village of Abernyte, which lies around seven miles west of Dundee. The closest primary school to Abernyte is Inchture Primary School, approximately 3.4 miles 2 away. On 27 May 2019 the petitioner notified the Scottish Ministers (“the respondents”), of a decision to implement a proposal to close Abernyte. There followed a period during which the respondents received representations, at the end of which they decided to issue a call-in notice in terms of the relevant legislation, the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010, as amended (“the 2010 Act”). The petitioner seeks to challenge and reduce the respondents’ call-in notice dated 16 July 2019. The legislative scheme [2] The 2010 Act introduced a comprehensive consultation scheme that must be followed where any Scottish education authority is considering closure of a school. -
Abernyte Options Appraisal Appendix
Appendix A PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL EDUCATION AND CHILDREN’S SERVICES OPTIONS APPRAISAL REPORT ABERNYTE PRIMARY SCHOOL 1 1. Introduction The Council’s Corporate Plan identifies the vision of ‘a confident and ambitious Perth and Kinross with a strong identity and clear outcomes that everyone works together to achieve. Our area will be vibrant and successful; a safe secure and healthy environment; and a place where people and communities are nurtured and supported’. This strategic approach embraces the vision for our area, our communities and our people as outlined in the Corporate Plan. Our key service priorities support the delivery of our commitments in the Community Planning Partnership’s Single Outcome Agreement and Corporate Plan, helping Education and Children’s Services to focus on the local outcomes that will achieve meaningful improvements for the area, our local communities and our citizens. Councils, as Education Authorities, have a statutory duty in terms of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 to make adequate and efficient provision of school education across their entire area for the current school population and future pattern of demand. Councils also have a statutory responsibility in terms of the Local Government in Scotland Act 2003 to achieve best value. The school estate is a significant and valuable asset to the communities of Perth and Kinross. Between 2018 and 2028, the Council will invest £178m in the school estate. This funding supports a wide range of projects including the replacement of Perth High School and Blairgowrie Recreation Centre. A substantial upgrade programme for primary and secondary schools is also being funded. -

Consulation Report on Abernyte, Inchture and Longforgan Primary
Report by Education Scotland addressing educational aspects of the proposal by Perth and Kinross Council to vary the arrangements for the transfer of pupils to secondary school from Abernyte, Inchture and Longforgan Primary Schools. The proposal intends that Perth High School will be the only designated secondary school for pupils from these schools from August 2016 and thus end the agreement with Dundee City Council of offering an alternative, previously Menzieshill High School which is due to close in June 2016. The proposal will allow Perth and Kinross pupils already attending Menzieshill High School as entitled pupils at the time of closure to be supported to travel to and from Harris Academy in Dundee to complete their education with effect from August 2016. 1. Introduction 1.1 This report from Education Scotland has been prepared by HM Inspectors in accordance with the terms of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 and the amendments contained in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. The purpose of the report is to provide an independent and impartial consideration of Perth and Kinross Council’s proposal that Perth High School will be the only designated secondary school for pupils from Abernyte, Inchture and Longforgan Primary Schools from August 2016 following the closure of Menzieshill High School in June 2016. The proposal also details that Perth and Kinross pupils already attending Menzieshill High School in Dundee as entitled pupils as at June 2016 will be supported to travel to and from Harris Academy in Dundee to complete their education with effect from August 2016.
