CCG is underway with a £2.5 million primary school extension in West Lothian.

The project is taking place at Toronto Primary School in Howden.

Features of the scheme include developing a new purpose built gym hall and changing areas, as well as a new accessible main entrance and safe drop-off areas out with the school grounds.

Internal alterations include re-roofing and insulating the existing classrooms.

The project aims to connect and expand the existing inner street, creating a new main office area and re-routing vehicles/pedestrians to the new entrance.


Cllr Lawrence Fitzpatrick said: "I'm delighted that work has started on new extension as part of the £2.5 million investment programme for Toronto Primary in Howden. Toronto pupils were able to input into the redesign specification, which will create a superb and uplifting atmosphere for education and benefit children, teachers and support staff.

"The brand new gym hall will boost opportunities for physical activity for local pupils, and will also be accessible to community groups."

CCG Director Calum Murray added: "CCG is delighted to be working with West Lothian Council on the Toronto Primary School improvement programme."

CCG said it expects to be on site until autumn.
