St Nicholas' Primary School in Bearsden, East Dunbartonshire, has been officially opened following £10 million building works.

The new building includes a multi-use games area and technology including interactive whiteboards and WiFi throughout and was delivered by the Council's build partner hub West Scotland.

The school, in the town's Duntocher Road, has been home to 370 pupils from the former St Joseph's and St Andrew's Primaries since August 2018.

Provost Brown, with the help of pupils Tessa and Ewan, unveiled the plaque to officially open the fabulous building, the fifth new school built to be built through the Council's Primary School Improvement Programme.

He said: "There is already a great feeling of warmth and community spirit within this school and it is clear that the children are enjoying learning and playing in their bright and modern new surroundings. With its flexible indoor and outdoor learning spaces there is plenty to inspire their young minds.

"It was my great pleasure to officially open St Nicholas' Primary and I wish the Head Teacher, her staff and pupils every success in their new school."

Head Teacher Charlotte Grogan added: "I will never forget the sights and sounds of our first day in the new school; children arriving in their new uniform, the look on their faces as they explored their new surroundings inside and outside and the sense of excitement in the school and community.

"Building on that, we are now looking forward to a future where we can fully utilise this fantastic learning resource to ensure the best education for our children."

Chief Executive Officer of hub West Scotland, Iain Marley, said: "St Nicholas' is the fifth school we have delivered for East Dunbartonshire Council and we are proud to have been involved in the significant investment in the Council's education estate which has transformed the learning environments for the children of East Dunbartonshire."
