Morgan Sindall is continuing work to build a new £12.4 million school and early years centre in East Dunbartonshire.

Designed by architects Archial Norr, the Thomas Muir Primary School and Cleddens Early Learning and Childcare Centre is being built on the site of the existing Woodhill Primary School on Kirriemuir Road. It is due to be complete in Spring 2017.

The two-storey building, which will replace the existing Auchinairn Primary, Woodhill Primary schools and Cleddens Learning & Childcare Centre, will accommodate around 560 pupils and 145 pre-school children.

As part of the development, children from the existing Cleddens Centre were able to get a close-up view of the work ongoing at the site this week.

Depute Manager Michelle Baxter said: "The children are very excited to see diggers and builders on the site and to look up at the new building as it takes shape. The staff and parents are just as excited to see the progress that is being made and we are all looking forward to moving into our brand new accommodation."

The facility is the third to be delivered through the Council's Primary School Improvement Programme in partnership with hub West Scotland.
