New School Build Planned For Aberdeen

A consultation period is to commence in relation to a proposed new school in Aberdeen. The plans could see a new school building created for Stoneywood School in the city. If approved, it is anticipated the new facility will be operational for the commencement of the 2017/18 academic year.

As part of the process, Aberdeen City Council is to hold two public meetings to allow the local community to view and comment on the proposals.

The location of the new building is yet to be confirmed, but the proposals include rezoning the ground to the north of the A96 trunk road, currently within the Brimmond School zone, to Stoneywood School. This would come into effect from August 2015, if approved.

Councillor Angela Taylor, Aberdeen City Council's Convener of Education and Children's Services, said: "The views of parents, pupils and staff and the wider community are crucial to this process. I would encourage everyone with an interest in this proposal to take part in the consultation process."

The consultations will be held on:

• Wednesday 4 March at Stoneywood School, Stoneywood, from 7pm to 8pm.

• Thursday 5 March at Brimmond School, Bucksburn, from 7pm-8pm.

Any comments must be received by the local authority before 5pm on Friday 27 March 2015. Further details on the consultation process will be available to view here.
