A consultation event is to be held in Aberdeen in relation to a proposed new school for children with additional support needs.

It has been proposed that a Centre for Excellence for children with additional support needs, arising from severe and complex factors, should be built on land on the corner of Howes Road and Davidson Drive in Northfield.

The pre-application event will be held at Heathryburn Primary School on Wednesday 4 February, from 2pm to 7pm.

A public exhibition of the proposals will also be available to view from Monday 9 February to Saturday 14 February at Northfield Library.

Councillor Angela Taylor, Aberdeen City Council's Convener of Education and Children's Services, said: "The pre-application event is an ideal opportunity for parents and carers of children with severe and complex additional support needs to find out more about the proposal to construct a purpose-built school for their children.

"We are committed to a purpose-built school which will offer the best environment to ensure the quality of the children's experience, and help them develop, learn, achieve and participate in the life of their school and broader community, which will enable them to reach their full potential."
