As part of the City Plan 2030, a site for a new primary school in the Builyeon Road development in South Queensferry was set aside. A statutory consultation proposing the establishment of the new Builyeon Road school and setting its catchment area was undertaken. An informal consultation process identified strong support for a new school in the area. However, it also identified concerns that the route to the proposed new primary school from the existing housing at Ferrymuir and the ‘South Scotstoun’ housing site needed improvement and there was some support for keeping South Scotstoun within Queensferry Primary School’s catchment area.
