In addition, Livingston's Carmondean and Peel primary schools are also being improved as part of a shared project to increase facilities in all three schools.

Speaking at Broxburn Primary School's opening ceremony, Councillor David Dodds said: "I'm delighted to officially open the new extension to Broxburn Primary School. The improvements will provide additional space for sports and dining provision, which will deliver real benefits for the whole school community.

"This project is part of a shared scheme to improve three schools in West Lothian as we invest in education infrastructure to give our children the best possible environment for learning.

"West Lothian already has one of the best school estates in the country, with over £100 million of investment between 2012 and 2018 for the benefit of our children."
