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.

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.
