King Edward and Fintry Schools
Officers are engaging with stakeholders regarding the merger of King Edward and Fintry Schools.
A decision was made to mothball Fintry School from August 2025 due to the low roll expected for the 2025/26 session. Mothballing is the temporary closure of a school which does not, in itself, lead to statutory consultation.
