📢 Dalry Secondary School – Community Meeting

Community members, organisations and community councils within the catchment are encouraged to attend and share their views.

HMIE’s independent report will consider the educational impact of the proposal, including learning, pupil wellbeing, additional support needs, travel and the school’s role in the community.
