Village of Dinnet - School Catchment Area

We asked

We asked for comments and views of residents within the village of Dinnet on Primary School Catchment areas. This was a request from the Logie Coldstone Parent Council to expand the Logie Coldstone School zone to include the area of Dinnet. Two surveys took place, the second of which had input from the Logie Coldstone Parent Council with suggestions of which questions to include. The first survey took place in May/June 2022 and the second survey took place in November/December 2023.

You said

On conclusion of the first survey, the majority of Dinnet residents believed their school catchment was the correct one for their postcodes. The second survey concluded with the majority of respondents indicating they would be interested in a consultation regarding school zoning, however there was a very low response rate, conflicting responses and the only comments were requesting a dual zone.

We will

The survey was analysed and concluded and a summary report written. The report was shared with Councillors, Colleagues and the Logie Coldstone Parent Council with the recommendation that no changes take place to the zoning of Dinnet or to the catchment area of Logie Coldstone School as Aberdeenshire Council do not conduct Statutory Consultations to create dual zones.
