I noticed that after a few school years, some of the schools in your council stopped appearing in the School Census, or school-level summary statistics, published by the Scottish Government and available at this link (below). At the same time, these schools are not listed among the schools that were closed/mothballed between 2005 and 2018, published in a spreadsheet at the same link as above. Here is the list of schools, alongside the last school year in which they appeared in the census: seedcode schoolname sector last school year 1004409 Leader Valley School special 2018/19 5600146 Howdenburn Schoolhouse special 2018/19 5630045 The Wilton Centre special 2018/19 I would be extremely grateful if you could provide me with the following information for each school: 1) The exact reason why the school closed, for instance decaying enrolment, building suitability, or other.
2) The date when the school was closed or mothballed, that is, ceased to be operating.
3) The date when the first proposal was made for closure was made.
4) The schools where the pupils displaced from closed/mothballed schools were eventually sent to. I would be grateful if you could provide the seedcode, as well as the school name.
5) What happened to the school building following closure, and when. For instance, whether the building remained empty, or was demolished to build something else on it, and in which year. I would appreciate it if you could provide the above information in a spreadsheet. - Response
