You read more about the sale, and how to write directly to the councillors, on the Boroughmuir website. You can find the petition itself on 38 Degrees.
The school have issued an update on progress with the new Deanbank Annexe. You can download the report here.

Napier University have applied to have a licensed bar adjacent to the new Boroughmuir High School. Parent feedback stalled the planning application with an agreement that alcohol would only be sold after school hours. However, Napier have hired top firm Anderson Strathearn to push through an amendment that would allow drinking from 2.00pm onwards.
The decisions that are made now about the new school will shape the environment our children are educated in for many years to come. We would urge you to sign the petition against this change:
Time is of the essence, as the proposal will be discussed on Monday 24th November.
Count Down to the Winter Fair: 29th November, 2pm – 4.30pm.
The fair will continue last year’s craft theme, and this year we have events to cater for all ages at the school. However, your help is needed to make it a success!
We’d love you to help out. If you’re able, please sign up as a helper using this form:
