Kinlochewe Primary School may be set for closure
A WESTER Ross primary school could be set to shut down, after Highland Council took the decision to permanently close it.
On June 26, the council took the decision to permanently close Kinlochewe Primary School near Achnasheen — however all school closures in Scotland must be ratified by Scottish Ministers. They will have an eight-week period from the date of the council’s decision to decide if they will intervene by issuing a call-in notice.
Within the first three weeks of that eight-week period, the Scottish Ministers will take account of any relevant representations made to them by any person on whether the decision should be called in or not called in, for review by a School Closure Review Panel.
To make a representation to the Scottish Ministers, email schoolclosure@gov.scot or write to School Infrastructure Unit, Scottish Government, 2-D (S) Victoria Quay, Edinburgh EH6 6QQ, by midnight on July 16 2025.
