THE names for the two new primary schools being built in Wick have been announced.

Newton Park is the new name for the building on the Wick joint campus, replacing Pulteneytown and South, while the new school being built to the north of the river is to be called Noss. The latter will replace North and Hillhead.

About 80 South pupils walked with 254 Pulteneytown primary and nursery pupils to hear Caithness civic leader Gail Ross declare the new school name.

The name was voted the most popular in a ballot held from May 30 to June 6.

Councillor Ross said: “With shared identities for our two new schools we can now look forward to seeing the plans for our modern education in Wick become reality.”
