Work will now proceed to deliver the new school as quickly as possible
A brand new primary school is planned for Craigshill in Livingston, after funding for the project was confirmed by the Scottish Government.
Phase three of the Learning Estate Investment Programme was announced by the Scottish Government, which confirms funding for 50% of the costs of a new school in Craigshill to replace both Letham and Riverside Primary schools. The previous Riverside Primary School building is currently closed due to issues with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete , with pupils relocated to the former Beatlie School.Executive councillor for Education Andrew McGuire said: “I’m delighted that all the funding to deliver a fantastic new primary school for Craigshill has finally been secured.
“We will now be progressing this key project as quickly as we can, to ensure local school pupils can benefit from the new school as soon as possible.”
