School Re-zoning Proposal

The detailed proposal being consulted on is to re-zone the Mid Forest area of South Cumbernauld which is adjacent to Abronhill, from the Greenfaulds High School catchment area to the Cumbernauld Academy catchment area (see maps on the attached document for more details of the area concerned). This will ensure that pupils who reside in the Mid Forest area are zoned for the same secondary school as all other pupils who reside within the proposed Abronhill Primary School catchment area.
