Proposed Craigmount High School Extension

Overview

We need to expand Craigmount High School to meet increasing demand from the growing local population. Our plans are to increase the capacity of the school from 1,400 to 1,800 pupils.

Our proposals include a new building on the grass field at the east side of the school site and reconfiguring and improving some spaces in the existing building to provide additional space and facilities for pupils.
