Fraserburgh Engagement

Aberdeenshire Council are consulting on the merger of Fraserburgh North School and St Andrews School within a new Primary School located at the Fraserburgh Academy site.

The consultation period will run from 12 December 2022 until 24 February 2023.

The proposal is that: 

• existing Fraserburgh North School and St Andrews School will close on completion of the new school building and education provision will begin as a merged primary school at the new site; 
• all existing Fraserburgh North School and St Andrews School pupils enrolled at the point of closure would continue their education within the new Primary School once the building is completed.

This consultation is being undertaken in accordance with the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. The Act requires that changes to the school estates, including the proposed relocation and merger of both schools, are subject to rigorous statutory consultation. 

If you would like to read more about the consultation you can obtain a copy of the proposal document from our website at the following address: Education consultations - Aberdeenshire Council

Following the consultation period all comments received will be analysed, along with any written responses and emails received regarding the proposal. 

A public meeting will be held to discuss this proposal on 1 February 2023 at 6.30pm in Assembly Hall at Fraserburgh Academy, Dennyduff Road, AB43 9NA.

We would appreciate if you could take time to complete this short survey on the proposal in order that we can consider your views and comments. This survey will be open until Friday 24 February 2023.
