Mothballed Hutton Primary school set for permanent closure

The primary school has been formally mothballed for 17 months – one of eight such sites across the region.

A council report said Dumfries and Galloway was experiencing a “significant and sustained” fall in pupil numbers.

It added that the local authority was also facing increasing challenges in recruiting staff in line with other rural areas.

The report said that while the site was mothballed the building was deteriorating with limited budgets for repairs, maintenance and capital investment.

Councillors are being asked to agree to the school’s permanent closure with its catchment split between Applegarth Primary School and Langholm Primary.
