Dear Jamie Mann 

Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (“The Act”) 

We refer to your request dated 22/02/2023 13:20, for the following
information regarding Schools Permanently/Temporarily Closed due to Unsafe
Buildings  

We confirm that the Council holds the following information, which we
believe satisfies your request. 

Please provide a list of the schools in your council area which have been
temporarily or permanently closed over the last five years because one or
more school buildings was deemed unsafe. 

Gartly School was officially closed on 23 January 2023. This decision
followed the completion of a statutory consultation undertaken in line
with the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. The decision was not
called-in by Scottish Ministers and the Council received consent to
implement its decision on 18 January 2023.  All documentation relating to
the closure of Gartly School and the reasons can be accessed on the
Aberdeenshire Council Website: [1]Publications - Aberdeenshire Council.  

Please also find attached a list of all temporary school closures over the
last five years.   Please note this does include bus route change
notifications as we are unable to filter given the way the information is
extracted.

Please contact me as the officer responsible for responding to your
request if you have any further queries. 

If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with this response, please refer
to the further information below. 

Yours faithfully 

Freedom of Information Co-ordinator
