This requires the Council to: i. ensure effective management of their school estate and provide sufficient places for their pupil population; ii. adhere to the general principle that children should be educated in line with their parents’ wishes; iii. ensure that all admissions must comply with class size legislation and national staffing agreements. 1.2 Children who live in the catchment area of Lennoxtown Primary School, in Lennoxtown and the catchment area of Craighead Primary School in Milton of Campsie are zoned to St Ninian’s High School in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire and to Kilsyth Academy in North Lanarkshire. When transferring to secondary education, parents can choose to send their child to either school as a catchment pupil. This arrangement has been in place since 1997 as a legacy of regional councils and is common across local authorities. 1.3 St Ninian’s High School has an overall capacity of 850 and in order to manage this effectively the S1 roll is capped at 150. 2.0 Present Position 2.1 In the last three years, there has been a significant increase in the number of pupils opting to transfer to St Ninian’s High School Pupils from Lennoxtown have opted to go to Kilsyth Academy or to make placing requests to other schools within East Dunbartonshire; only a small number have transferred to St Ninian’s High School.
