Watten primary school is set in the rural village of Watten in the far north of Scotland. It is an idyllic setting and a perfect place to bring up a family. It has been that way since the oldest members of our community can remember. In a highland council review if is being reviewed for closure. We do not see this as a viable option for our vulnerable community and object in the strongest possible terms to this option.
the stories people are sharing about growing up in watten are just incredible and really show why this place matters so much. im busy putting together a formal response for the council and your comments are giving me exactly the points i need to fight this.

THE COUNCIL NEED TO LEAVE US ALONE. Typical city folk forgetting about rural life. Leave Watten primary kids alone.

Ridiculous idea. Where are the bairns supposed to go then? Driving them miles away isnt the answer.

This school is the only thing keeping the village alive. Without it everyone with a family will just move away.

My kids went there and my gran before that. You cant just take the heart out of a tiny village like Watten. Keep it open!
