A consultation has been launched on proposals to relocate a grammar school in South Ayrshire.

The council is inviting residents to put forward their views on plans to move children and staff from Ayr Grammar into the Ayr Academy building when it becomes vacant.

In addition, Early Learning and Childcare services would be introduced as part of the move.

The £11.6 million project would turn the Ayr Academy building on Fort Street into a new home for Ayr Grammar.

The building would also be redeveloped into a learning hub, featuring additional facilities to help preschool learning, childcare and help Ayr expand as a centre for arts and culture

Plans include building separate dining and PE facilities, improved learning and teaching space and modern ICT / resources. There would also be increased parking and additional multi use outside play areas.

A community art gallery would also be installed under the plans, along with facilities catering for 20 children from 2-3 years of age and 60 places for 3-5 year olds.

The consultation will run until Wednesday, 29 June.
