A planned extension at Park Mains High School in Erskine – anticipated to cost around £30 million – should be in place by June 2027.
The expansion, which will boost capacity at the facility in Barrhill Road from approximately 1,600 to 2,000, was approved by councillors earlier this year.
A report, which will be considered at this week’s education and children’s services policy board, provided an update on the project and confirmed RenfrewshireA modular unit, which has been used as Paisley Central Library before its move to High Street, will be cleared out and relocated to the high school in late November. It will be repurposed and operational by April 2024.
“Once repurposed this will be operational from April 2024, and will be able to accommodate up to 156 pupils. The modular units will provide for five classrooms, staff toilets, pupil toilets and an accessible toilet.“Discussions are ongoing regarding the obligation of BAE Systems who, under the existing Section 75 agreement, are required to contribute towards the expansion cost.”
Consultants have been appointed to help with “space planning” for the extension, with this work having started on October 5. The aim is for feedback to be gathered on how the school is and could be used as an educational facility and how it is and could be used out of school hours.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
