Graph 28 above shows the occupancy levels in every secondary school in East Renfrewshire and shows that there is capacity within most schools to address additional demand. Occupancy levels vary from 62 per cent in Barrhead High school to 105 per cent in St Ninians’ High school.


Table 8 shows the number of pupils that attend our secondary schools but reside out with East Renfrewshire Council i.e. a number of pupils attending these schools as a result of a successful placing request. This shows that there is scope to accommodate additional catchment pupils in schools with high occupancy levels in areas with new house building.


Over the past few years, the Council has expanded provision with new larger schools at Williamwood High School and Eastwood High School and extended provision at Mearns Castle High School.


In 2011, the Education Committee approved changes to the delineated catchment of St Ninian’s, its associated primary schools and the priorities for granting placing requests to the school. Based on the current admission arrangements, the school has a large number of pupils admitted through placing requests. As demand for catchment places increase, there will be a corresponding decrease in the number of places made available for placing requests. As a result, the school will be able to accommodate additional catchment pupils.
