You said

We received a total of 324 responses to the public consultation. 257 responders provided comment on the educational benefits of permanently relocating St Mungo's RCPS.

There were 324 responses to the question 'Do you agree with renaming to Alloa Campus?' 41 respondents replied yes and 283 respondents replied no. Respondents wanted schools to retain their individual names.

The consultation process also included direct engagement through a public meeting, attended by 52 members of the public, and a further 9 stakeholder consultation meetings.

We did

Council decided on Thursday 28 November 2024 to permanently relocate St Mungo's RCPS to its current location in Alloa Academy. All respondents views were taken into account along with the independent report, provided in line with legislation, by Education Scotland, HM Inspectors.

Council agreed not to rename the building that St Mungo's and Alloa Academy occupy 'Alloa Campus' as the consultees felt this undermined the identity of the individual schools.

Officers will continue to work in partnership with stakeholders to address the issues through the consultation process.

Overview

St Mungo’s RC Primary School was decanted to Alloa Academy in April 2018, as a result of water ingress in the school and the impact on the health of children and staff.  

Why your views matter

It is proposed to permanently relocate St Mungo's RC Primary School within Alloa Campus, previously known as Alloa Academy.

All of the information you provide will be handled in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Council's Privacy Notice.

This consultation should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

What happens next

Once the consultation period is complete and upon receipt of relevant papers from Clackmannanshire Council, HM Inspectors have three weeks to prepare and finalise a report on the proposal and send it to the Council.  This is likely to be September 2024.

Upon receipt of the report from HM Inspectors, the Council reviews the proposal having regard to the report by HM Inspectors and representations received during the consultation period.  

A final consultation report is then prepared and published by Clackmannanshire Council. 

Following publication of the final consultation report in December 2024, the Council must allow three weeks to elapse before taking its final decision on the proposal. The report will be published on the Council's website and consultation platform, Citizen Space.

The final decision on the proposal will be made by council in January/February 2025.
