The Scots School opened a small, one teacher school in Lithgow in 2006 and there are currently 13 boys and girls from K-4 in attendance. A separate Pre-K program with 11 students also operates there.

In the Scots All Saints College newsletter it stated that with the creation of the Scots All Saints College with our K-4 Junior, 5-8 Middle and 9-12 Senior Schools, increasing numbers of families from Lithgow and its regions have chosen to enrol here and the enrolments at Lithgow have not grown.

The decision to consolidate the Lithgow Campus with Bathurst has been communicated to parents and staff over the past couple of days.

"In some ways, the College has been competing against itself in the region," the newsletter read.

All Lithgow students have been offered guaranteed positions in the College and transport on the new dedicated bus service from 2021.

The staff will also have the option to relocate to the main College site.

The buildings will be relocated to Bathurst at the end of the school year.

"The staff are very much looking forward to welcoming the children from the Lithgow campus to Bathurst in 2021," it read.
