Budgets Approved For Penicuik Primary School Extensions

A total of £6 million has been secured to extend two primary schools in Penicuik, Midlothian, creating over 100 new school spaces.

Cuiken Primary School will be extended with six new primary classes, costing around £2 million.


The further £4 million funds will be used to increase the pre school nursery capacity from 20 to 44 places for Sacred Heart Primary. A partial refurbishment and extension will also allow for an increased number of primary aged pupils.

Work is expected to begin on both projects later this year.

The extensions are to be open for the beginning of the new school year in August 2019.
