Plans to rezone parts of two primary and secondary school catchment areas in Aberdeen have been recommended for approval by councillors.
Under the proposals, pupils from the area around the former BP headquarters in Dyce would change from Stoneywood to Dyce Primary, and subsequently Bucksburn to Bridge of Don Academy.
Those living at Grandholm Village would shift from Braehead to Danestone Primary and Bridge of Don to Oldmachar Academy.
Officials at the local authority carried out a public consultation to give parents the opportunity to have their say.
If approved by members of the education, culture and sport committee on Monday, the changes would come into effect in time for the new school session in August.
A report to the committee said there was a low turnout at the public engagement events. Of those who took part, no-one took issue with the proposals for Dyce.
The Grandholm Village plans met with some opposition in the local area.
Bridge of Don Academy Parent Council said members were concerned that the authority had a long-term plan to “chip away” at the pupil roll for the school.
It was also noted that children would have further to walk from Grandholm Village to Oldmachar Academy than they do under the current arrangements.
People speaking in favour of the proposals said Danestone School was closer for residents in Grandholm Village than Braehead.
Some concerns were also expressed at the relatively short timescale for the changes.
In the committee report, it is noted that government agency Education Scotland has expressed “uncertainty” on the rationale behind the council proposal.
Education Scotland said: “In taking forward the proposal, the council needs to set out more detailed benefits for the children that will accrue from the implementation.
“Parents of pre-school and primary aged children at the schools are very concerned about the timing for the proposal.
“With the decision on the proposal not being made until mid-June, and a planned implementation of the proposal in August, the council has set a challenging timescale.”
Should the committee approve the plans, parents would still be free to make placing requests to any school of their choice.
