We were pleased to attend the information evening organised by Council education officials on the expansion of Davidson’s Mains Primary.
The plan involves constructing a new, two storey, eight classroom building. This would be just to the west of the current main building on the playground/playing field.
This would provide significant new capacity for the rising school roll.
The ‘temporary’ huts near the school entrance would then be demolished with the land either tarmaced over or possibly converted to new outdoor classrooms. The project has been developed to minimise the impact on the current school during construction.
Officials aim to submit a planning application later this month. If approved, construction would start in February so the new building is available from next August.
We will be getting detailed pdfs of the plans so anyone who would like these can email us at either Louise.young@edinburgh.gov.uk or kevin.lang@edinburgh.gov.uk
