At the end of July Malcolm Chisholm MSP (Scottish Labour, Edinburgh North & Leith) has tabled a motion at the Scottish Parliament in support of both Fort and Royston Primaries. In addition in his Summer 2009 newsletter he also highlights the high number of children in Edinburgh’s primary schools:
“I also asked a question about the average number of pupils per primary school in Edinburgh and was told it was already the second highest out of Scotland's thirty two local authorities. small primary schools have their advantages and, with pupil numbers set to rise in Edinburgh over the next few years, and many new housing developments planned for Leith and north Edinburgh, this is no time to be closing important and highly valued schools.”
