Plans have been revealed to build a new primary school to the south of Inverness.

Members of the Highland Council's Care, Learning and Housing Committee have agreed to recommend to the council the establishment of a new school, as well as creating a new catchment area, to serve the Ness Castle and Ness-side housing developments.

The local authority will meet to discuss the recommendations on 28 June.

Cllr Andrew Baxter said: "One of the key priorities of the Council's Programme is to 'address the need for additional capacity' in Highland Schools and providing a place to learn for our children.

"Inverness's housing demands and pressure on existing school supply highlighted the need for a new school in this catchment area."
