Show Notes
Councillors in the Scottish Borders are considering a public consultation to permanently close Fountainhall Primary School, which has only one student left. The school, which can hold up to fifty students, saw enrollment drop from twenty-four to one in the past year. Parents have faced challenges with such low numbers, and most children already attend schools outside the area. A recent review and community survey support merging Fountainhall into nearby Heriot Primary, adding early learning classes to strengthen one solid rural school. If approved, the consultation will begin in August and end in October, aiming to save ninety-three thousand pounds annually while considering options for local children.
