Extensive work has been carried out to the school as part of a £10.5 million investment by Argyll and Bute Council to transform it into a school fit for the 21st Century, whilst maintaining its listed building status.
The next phase will see the demolition of the east wing and formation of a new part. When this is complete the new-look primary will provide capacity for up to 300 pupils and 30 early learning and childcare places.

It will also house a new family centre, gym hall, library, early learning and childcare centre, and staff accommodation. A link will be made to connect the refurbished west wing to the new east wing, with a feature staircase.
The Council's Policy Lead for Education, Councillor Yvonne McNeilly said: "We want the very best start for our young people, and I am in no doubt that this phase in the wonderful new state-of-the-art facility will help us to provide that.
"Not only will it enable pupils to realise their full potential, but it will enable them to really enjoy their learning experience. Our vision is that we will realise ambition, excellence and equality for all. This new school will help our young people to achieve that.
"I wish all the staff and pupils the very best of luck and many happy years of learning and look forward to completion of the next phase."
