Leadership of Blairmore Nursery
The leadership team at Blairmore Nursery School is changing.
Following a series of consultations, including a recent statutory public consultation, Blairmore Nursery School will now become a standalone early learning centre under the leadership of a head of centre.
The outcome of the statutory consultation report is available in the Documents section of this page. This will be contained within a report to a meeting of the council's Education & Communities Committee in May 2023 for final approval.
Blairmore Nursery School is located in the east end of Greenock. It shares a campus with All Saints Primary School. The school provides early learning and childcare for 72 children aged 3 -5 years and 15 children aged 2 – 3 years. Family support services are provided within the school and the community.
The headteacher retired in August 2022. A temporary headteacher is in place for session 2022/23.
The 3 options for that were considered were:
- The nursery school remains as a standalone nursery school and a replacement Headteacher is recruited.
- The nursery school is incorporated into All Saints Primary School as a nursery class under the leadership of the headteacher of the primary school.
- The nursery school becomes a standalone early learning centre under the leadership of a head of centre.
Following consultations with the school, staff, parents, the wider public and education authorities, the preferred option is that the nursery school becomes a standalone early learning centre under the leadership of a head of centre.
