The new school will have room for 1,600 pupils and will provide a range of amenities for the wider community – including outdoor pitches and a health centre.
St Andrew’s School, for youngsters with additional support needs, will also be on the site.
The three-storey facility will also have outdoor and indoor pitches, a six lane swimming pool and a health centre.
We are proud to be partnering with Aberdeenshire Council on this exciting project, one of a series of quality education buildings Robertson is delivering across the North East.
Scope of work
- Construction of a new campus for up to for 1600 students, to replace the existing Inverurie Academy, Inverurie Swimming Pool and Garioch Community Centre on the existing site.

Community safety engagement
Our various community engagement activities include several specific safety initiatives:
- a committee that meets every two weeks with a representative from each street and an employee of the school to discuss all Safety, Health and Environmental concerns;
- a learning centre that played host to over 350 children in five months, to find out about the construction techniques, as well as the plant and equipment being used;
- a controlled area to demonstrate building materials and plant and explain the safety issues relating to them.
