Introduction

Purpose

Approved by Council in December 2020 as a strategic approach and updated in 2022, the Moray Learning Estate Strategy sets out our vision of providing a sustainable education service aiming for excellence. You can access the Moray Learning Estate Strategy here.

The basis of the strategy is the occupancy, suitability and condition of our schools with the outcome being a more efficient and fit-for-purpose school estate for communities across Moray.

The strategy will see the development of individual solutions that meet the varied needs of areas across Moray, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whilst there aren’t any specific proposals at this stage, we want your views to help us shape a sustainable learning estate for both Elgin Academy and Elgin High Associated School Groups (ASGs).

To find out more about why and how we're engaging and to help you answer your questions we have created a school dashboard with information about the school estate now and future issues to consider. You can access this here:

This survey has 8 sections and will take around 15 minutes to complete. There are opportunities throughout the survey for you to share any comments or ideas you have at. If you would like to add additional information please email learningestate@moray.gov.uk.
