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.

The future of a pair of rural Aberdeenshire schools will be decided a council meeting next week.
The local authority’s education committee will meet to discuss the fates of mothballed Strachan School near Banchory and Gartly School south of Huntly.
Councillors have been urged to recommend the full council move to close Strachan’s school, and reassign its catchment area to create a new “dual zone” between Banchory Primary and Finzean School.
The primary, which had a capacity for 50 pupils and had a wide catchment area including Feughside, Glen Dye and Blackness, was originally opened in 1877, but over its more than a century of existence it struggled to retain enough pupils to justify being open.
