Consultations over school catchment changes for Livingston and Bathgate

Former council sites at Eagle Brae in Livingston and Guildiehaugh in Bathgate are due to be redeveloped after they were no longer required for service delivery.

However, the non-denominational primary schools they are currently zoned for, Harrysmuir and Simpson respectively, are full, or close to full.

To enable the sites to be redeveloped, the council is looking for views on changing the catchments to Toronto and Boghall primaries respectively.

The Eagle Brae consultation runs until 5pm on Friday 2 April 2021. A virtual public meeting to discuss the consultation document will be via zoom on Thursday March 4 2021 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

The Guildiehaugh consultation runs until 5pm on Friday 2 April 2021. A virtual public meeting will be held on Thursday March 11 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
