Aberdeenshire Council has made the decision to permanently close Strachan school near Banchory.
Councillors agreed with the recommendation to close the school and reassign the catchment to create a “dual zone” between Banchory Primary School and Finzean School.
Scottish Ministers must now approve the decision before the council can begin implementing the closure.
This result was proposed following a consultation period which ran from January 7 to February 28 2020. A public meeting to discuss the potential closure was held at Strachan Village Hall on February 6 last year.
A survey completed by consultees showed that more than two thirds of people supported the school closure.
