The new Lenzie Meadow Primary School has opened its doors ahead of the new school term.

Built on the site of the old Lenzie Moss Primary School, the £11.5 million building consists of a primary school and nursery class. It will welcome 568 pupils from both primary schools, plus 58 pre-school children in the nursery.

Lenzie Meadow Interim Parent Council worked alongside council officers to ensure the school meets the needs of pupils and parents within the community.


Co-Chairs, Gordon MacDonald and David North, said: "We are delighted that the new Lenzie Meadow Primary School is open for the start of the school year. It is a fantastic new building and will be a great educational resource for our children.

"We would like to thank all the East Dunbartonshire Council officers, teachers and the staff of Lend Lease who have worked so hard to get the building finished and ready for occupation."

East Dunbartonshire Council Leader, Councillor Rhondda Geekie, said: "I am delighted to see the new school up and running and hope that the teachers and pupils will settle in quickly to enjoy their new environment. It is worth remembering at this point that we were able to open the school ahead of its initial October target date. I'd like to thank everyone who worked hard to make it all possible."
