Primary children displaced during the Edinburgh schools crisis face another move this week after parents spoke out about the condition of temporary classrooms.

Parents of P6 and P7 youngsters from Oxgangs Primary staged a protest at the weekend, claiming alternative accommodation at Wester Hailes Education Centre was unsuitable for education.

On Monday, 32 of the 80 pupils failed to turn up to classes as parents hit out at the conditions.

In response to the complaints, the city council has revealed it has made new arrangements for the youngsters. They will be moved to alternative classrooms in Niddrie Mill Primary from Wednesday.

The local authority said Niddrie Mill would provide a "more sustainable solution" for the children, who still do not know when they will be able to return to their own school.

A review of bus timetabling for junior students from Craigmount and Gracemount High Schools has also been launched to address concerns about the length of the school day

Alistair Gaw, acting executive director of communities and families with Edinburgh City Council, said: "We have responded to concerns raised by some parents and new arrangements for Oxgangs P6 and P7 pupils have been put in place within a primary school environment at Niddrie Mill Primary.

"In addition, we are also reviewing bus timetables with the aim of extending the school day for secondary school pupils.

"We will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments to arrangements as required."

A total of 7600 youngsters were disrupted after 17 primary, secondary and special schools were shut on April 8 due to structural concerns.

All of the schools were built or refurbished under a PPP project overseen by the Edinburgh Schools Partnership.

Mr Gaw added: "These arrangements are temporary, and we continue to press Edinburgh Schools Partnership for further information.

"We recognise this has been a challenging time for parents and pupils and I'd like to thank them for their patience and support.

"I'd also like to pay tribute to teachers across the city for their dedication and professionalism in responding to the situation and helping make the alternative arrangements work in practice."
