A new primary school and nursery at Granton Waterfront
We’re proposing to build a new Primary School and Nursery at Granton Waterfront. The new proposed building will be able to accommodate a Nursery for 128 pupils between the ages of two and five, and a new two stream (15 classes) primary school with the potential for an Enhanced Support Base (ESB) with four additional classes. The facility will have the ability to expand to up to a three stream (22 classes) primary school in future.
Our proposals are for a new two storey building to be constructed in the middle of the site, with an associated single storey wing to accommodate the nursery.
The main school and nursery playgrounds are to be located south from the building. Dedicated playground areas for the ESB and food growing areas would be located immediately to the north of the building.
The most northern section of the site will accommodate the school playing fields and a natural park with destination learning zones. This section could also be made available for community use outside of school hours.
You’ll be able to view the proposals online after of our first event, including the site analysis, proposed layout and concept design.
If the proposals are approved, we expect the new building to be completed in 2029.
