The catchment area for St Columba鈥檚 Primary School in Oban is to be widened.
The decision was made at today鈥檚 meeting of P站色情片鈥檚 Community Services Committee, and comes as a result of a formal request made by St Columba鈥檚 Parent Council.
St Columba鈥檚 is the only denominational school within 80 miles of Oban, but the current catchment area only covers Oban and Dunbeg. By expanding this, the school will now cover the same mainland catchment area as that of Oban High School.
The council鈥檚 Policy Lead for Education, Councillor Yvonne McNeilly said: 鈥淎 full public consultation was carried out earlier this year which saw us engage with a wide range of stakeholders, including pupils. This is something which we felt was particularly important.
鈥淲e are committed to providing the best possible start for our children and young people, so it is vital that we listen to what they want and value their views and expectations.
鈥淏y expanding the catchment area, it means that children and their parents have more choice and will provide greater equity for children and families. I look forward to seeing things progress.鈥
