Movement in pupil numbers requires us to alter the educational provision to meet demands, particularly in relation to the current climate of increasing pupil rolls.

This requires us to change the educational provision in the response to these demands.

There is a statutory requirement to consult with relevant communities in accordance with the Schools Consultation (Scotland) Act 2010 .
