The Scottish Government's 'Schools for the Future' programme is providing 50% of the projects cost, while the council will provide the remainder from its capital programme.
Robert Naylor, Director of Children's Services said: "The new school will provide pupils with a welcoming and flexible learning environment across two floors and will include modern specialist classroom equipment and facilities to meet the needs of all pupils."
