New primary school is complete
THE new £15.4 million Noss Primary School in Wick has been completed and pupils will move in after the Easter holidays.
The school has 14 classrooms, a library, two nursery rooms, two learning support rooms, a games hall, dining area, a medical room and a multi-use games area along with a grass pitch.
Replacment of the North and Hillhead primary schools began in late 2014 and has been delivered by hub North Scotland on behalf of The Highland Council. The main contractor for the project was Morrison Construction.
Chair of council’s education, children and adult services committee councillor, Drew Miller, said: “Noss Primary is going to be very much the heart of the local community and I’m delighted that as well as an excellent environment for the young people to learn in, everyone will be able to use and enjoy the first-rate community facilities.
“With the completion of a new school and the Wick campus project well underway now is a very exciting time for education in Caithness and shows a significant investment by the council into the educational needs and aspirations of young people and for the skilled and dedicated staff and parents that support them.”
The school will open on Wednesday, April 13.
