Education & Children's Services at Aberdeenshire Council would like your views regarding the primary school catchment (zone) area of Whitehills School.
On 1 February 2024, Education & Children’s Services Committee agreed to the Learning Estate Strategy, Movement Towards a Sustainable Estate. The Committee also approved the commencement of engagement with the Banff, Turriff and Westhill Clusters, giving an infographic and survey to gain their view on primary school provision.
Following on from the infographic and survey, Whitehills School is the only school within the Banff Cluster that is operating above 85% capacity. The school catchment area can be seen in the map below which encompasses Whitehills in the north, Inverboyndie in the east, Ladysbridge in the centre and a large rural area in the east and south.
