Parents have said "putting their feet on the pavement and going round every house in Blackness" successfully stopped their local primary school from being mothballed.
Members of Blackness Primary School's parent council spoke to every household in the small community to find out how many local pre-school children would eventually become pupils at the school, Falkirk councillors heard on Tuesday.
Dr Juliet Graham and Jann Fairley told members of the education, children and young people's executive that their efforts revealed that the school roll is set to rise steadily over the next few years and will reach 21 pupils by 2026.
