Councillors reject Catholic secondary school working group bid

A sometimes heated meeting of the full council heard some members state for the record their religious faith, as they debated the future of the city’s Catholic schools.

Campaigners had argued Aberdeen needs to build a Catholic secondary school to ensure young people of faith are not “left behind”.

A report from officials said a consultation had found a Catholic secondary was unlikely to meet the minimum roll threshold of 1,000 pupils.

The most recent census found there were more than 19,000 Roman Catholics living in the city.
