Boosting local primary capacity
The new school was constructed on the site of the former Tillydrone Infant School and part of the former St Machar Primary School grounds. This project expanded local primary school capacity along with provided 100 new Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) places to improve educational outcomes and help young people reach their full potential.
Flexible design for future needs
The school’s design ensures flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of the community, such as shifts in pupil needs, community developments, or local demographics.
New facilities for Aberdeen’s children
This redevelopment provides a new facility for the children of the area, with empowerment and learning at the heart of the project. Community remained a top priority throughout the development, and our relationship with Aberdeen City Council made this possible. Our goal was to provide the next generation with everything they needed to succeed with top-of-the-range educational facilities.
