St Kieran's Primary School officially closed

[Kintyre Forum News]

Another chapter in Campbeltown's school history now confirmed officially as closed.

Closure confirmed of empty schools

The Scottish Government has granted permission for Argyll and Bute Council to close two primary schools, under the Schools (CONSULTATION) (SCOTLAND) ACT 2010.

St Kieran’s Primary, in Kintyre , and Ardchonnel Primary, near Loch Awe, both had no pupils enrolled when the council initially proposed their closure.

Argyll and Bute Council completed a statutory consultation process and took the decision to formally close the schools at a meeting on October 6. Since then there has been a three-week period for further comments to be lodged with the Scottish Government. No further comments were received and the government has confirmed it will not call-in the council’s decision.

As neither school had any pupils they are now both formally closed.
