Jessie Goldie of Kennedy Street nursery school in Townhead was the third headteacher in recent weeks to be suspended by the council pending checks to ensure that the numbers on the school roll-call tally with the numbers in attendance. Her suspension was promptly followed by a fourth.
Kennedy Street nursery school is currently earmarked for closure at the end of June. It has 40 places and could cater for 40 children in the morning and 40 children in the afternoon. The council's latest figures suggest that it is under-used, with 18 children attending in the morning and 21 during the afternoon, but it will not be possible to confirm whether these numbers are accurate until the investigation is concluded.
