Gaelic School - June 2024

The main purpose of the consultation was to ascertain the demand for an all-Gaelic School within the local authority area.

What the response was

There was a total of 673 responses.   45% of respondents were in favour of an all Gaelic School, with 55% of respondents not in favour. 

What was decided as a result of the response

The decision was that against a backdrop of reducing budgets and competing priorities, the Council is not in a position to pursue this matter any further at this time, and will continue to pursue a more equitable approach of provision of Gaelic in existing schools across the wider area, thereby ensuring more pupils have access.   See (Council Decision - item 13) of the meeting of Argyll and Bute Council on Thursday 26 September 2024, which sets out what was decided by Council.
