Council To Discuss School Campus Plans

Construction News Image
Plans to build a new school campus in Dundee are to be discussed by the council's Education Committee next week, it is understood.

The proposals would see a new campus created in the north of the city and would see Longhaugh Nursery and Primary School replaced, while St Luke's Primary School and St Matthew's Primary School would be merged with St Vincent's Primary School.

The plan has been included in a school estate review report, which also suggests a number of other moves for schools in the area, including closure of amalgamation.

Councillor Stewart Hunter, Education Convener, said: "This is an exciting proposal that will help to improve the education of children in the north east of the city for generations. The campus model is already working very successfully in both the West End and at Balgarthno.

"The education department has been considering very carefully how to make the best use of our school estate and this proposal shows a real sense of ambition.

"This plan is, of course, subject to the allocation of funding from the Scottish Futures Trust and to committee approval of financial considerations.

"We are showing, yet again how we are continuing to invest in the future of education across the city."

He continued: "The new Harris Academy is taking shape and there is progress on new primary schools for Menzieshill and Coldside, as well as replacements for Sidlaw View Primary and Baldragon Academy."

Dundee City Council's Education Committee is due to meet next week (24 November) to discuss the proposals.
