Council approves improvement options for Angus schools

Plans to replace Monifieth High and Grange Primary School with an all-through school are among a range of improvement options for the school cluster approved by Angus Council yesterday.

Councillors on the children & learning committee agreed to begin discussions on the following options:

  • A review of the secondary catchment areas of Monifieth, Carnoustie, Forfar and Websters


  • Extend Monifieth High School, Mattocks Primary School and refurbish Grange and Liff Primary Schools
  • Replace Monifieth High and Grange Primary School with an all-through school
  • Replace Monifieth High and Grange Primary School with an all-through school with additional community leisure facilities
  • Refurbish and increase the capacity at Mattocks and Liff Primary Schools as well as an all-through school to accommodate Monifieth high and Grange Primary School


  • Develop Monifieth High School to include community leisure facilities
  • Convenor of children and learning, Councillor Mark Salmond, said “This will be the largest organised conversation with the Monifieth community to help us shape future education provision. I would ask all interested parties to fully engage with Angus Council to share with us their views and aspirations.”

    The council will develop a timescale and programme for engagement in the coming weeks.
