Ms Goldie said: “After receiving enquiries from constituents, I have written to the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning voicing constituent concerns.

“I have asked the Cabinet Secretary to communicate direct with the council to ensure that the process being undertaken by the council is technically robust, that there is adequate transparency and that any data included is accurate and not erroneous”.
