Work is underway on a new £12.4 million school in East Dunbartonshire.

A groundbreaking ceremony took place on 26 January marking the start of construction on the new facility in Bishopbriggs.

The two-storey building, designed by Archial Norr, is being built by Morgan Sindall on the site of the existing Woodhill Primary School at Kirriemuir Road.

Housing around 560 pupils and 145 pre-school children, it will replace the existing Auchinairn Primary, Woodhill Primary schools and Cleddens Learning & Childcare Centre.

Features include flexible and open classrooms, outdoor learning areas, landscaped play areas and a full 3G synthetic pitch.

Councillor Geekie said: "This is a very important development for the area and I am delighted that we are about to see the new building take shape.

"The finished building, playground areas and sports pitch will provide local children with a first rate educational experience."

Debbie McNamara, Chief Executive at hub West Scotland, added: "This is the third of a number of schools hub West Scotland are delivering with our partners East Dunbartonshire Council. I am proud that the successful partnership is delivering high quality educational facilities for the communities of East Dunbartonshire."

The first PSIP school, Lairdsland Primary in Kirkintilloch, officially opened in May 2015 and the second school, Lenzie Meadow, is set to open in August 2016.
