The findings of an external review, which was ordered to get to the bottom of the capacity saga, are expected to be published in full once the investigation is complete.

The probe has been led by former local government chief executive David Bowles and was required after it emerged Dargavel Primary School, which opened in January of last year, was too small to meet the needs of its growing catchment area.

Analysis from Edge Analytics recently predicted the number of pupils should peak at 1131 by 2033 – but also said space could be needed for as many as 1500 if demand was to continue long-term.

Initial calculations, dating back to around 2017, projected the roll of the school in Arrochar Drive, Bishopton, would not exceed 430.

Councillor James MacLaren, who represents the area, emphasised the importance of the inquiry in making sure lessons are learned from the situation.
