  • Proposal for Gaelic Medium Catchment, Acharacle Primary School
    Agenda 13. Item Report EDU/14/21 No HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Education Committee Date: 20 May 2021 Statutory Consultation – Proposal for Gaelic Medium Report Title: Catchment, Acharacle Primary School Report By: Executive Chief Officer Education and Learning 1. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report seeks Members agreement to conduct a statutory consultation proposing the establishment of a Gaelic Medium (GM) catchment area for Acharacle Primary School. 1.2 Currently there are pupils who live in the Strontian Primary School catchment who attend GME at Acharacle Primary School. Including the Strontian catchment in the proposed GM catchment therefore reflects existing practice that has developed on an informal basis. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to agree to proceed to statutory consultation, on the basis of the proposal attached to this report. 3. Implications 3.1 Resource - The proposal seeks to maximise access to GME whilst still considering and balancing financial implications, particularly with regard to school transport. No additional costs are envisaged at present as a result of the proposal. 3.2 Legal - The Proposal will be issued for statutory consultation as required by the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. It also complies with the provisions for school transport set out within the Education (Scotland) Act 1980; with the provisions relating to GME contained within the Education (Scotland) Act 2016; and with statutory guidance on the creation of GM catchment areas, issued by Bòrd na Gàidhlig. 3.3 Community (Equality, Poverty and Rural) - There are no specific impacts on equality, poverty or rural issues, beyond those already considered as part of access to GME.
