A new £8.1 million primary school has been opened in Dundee.

The Sidlaw View Primary School was built by Robertson Tayside under the Scape Group's National Major Works framework.

The school is part of a campus that will include a replacement for Baldragon Academy when it is complete. Up to 400 pupils will be able to attend the new two-stream primary school, which also includes a dining and assembly hall, a production kitchen, a gym hall, offices and drama and music provision.

Kevin Dickson, Robertson Tayside's regional Managing Director, said: "It's been a pleasure to work on the combined primary school and nursery, which we delivered under Scape Group's National Major Works framework.

"The new Sidlaw View offers real value to the local community, with the facilities installed giving children the best start to their education experience. The completion marks the beginning of the overall campus regeneration which, when completed, will be an exemplary centre for learning."

Mark Robinson, chief executive, Scape Group, added: "Investment in schools and modern facilities is vital, not only to the local community and economic growth but most importantly to ensure students have the best possible learning experience. What we have delivered collaboratively with Robertson, Sidlaw View Primary and Jessie Porter Nursery is a great example of what can be achieved in terms of quality and design and we are excited to see the students strive in their new environment."
