Secondary school, Oban, Argyll |
Primary schools, for up to 12 year olds, are maintained in the smallest of upland and island communities. Secondary provision is much more centralised – in towns.
Boarding facilities are provided by this secondary school in Oban for island pupils who are unable to make the return journey home during the week.
The availability of comprehensive schools in Scotland simplifies provision in sparsely populated areas. Secondary schools can function in locations where a selective school system would have too few pupils to be viable. |
