Craigshill Primary School, Livingston

Client: West Lothian Council

Architect: Norr

Contractor: Morrison Construction Scotland – Central

Project value: £24m

It is proposed that the new non-denominational school will be constructed on the site of Riverside Primary School, with pupils and staff from Riverside and Letham moving into the newly constructed school for the start of the academic term in August 2027. The proposed new school would have a capacity of 462, with 80 nursery places, to ensure there is sufficient capacity for the area.

The project will provide the opportunity to bring together two existing schools in a well-established community and act as a catalyst for regeneration of the Craigshill community, providing a central, focal point for children and families. Secondly, the delivery of a state-of-the-art school will aim to support the educational priorities and inspire the young people who attend.

West Lothian Council is funding 50% of the project, with the Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP), a joint scheme between Scottish and local government, providing the remaining 50%. The project will also provide a focal point for families and young people in the area.

RMP are commissioned to provide a full range of acoustic consultancy and testing services with the project currently at completion of Hub Stage 2 with Stage 3 (construction and compliance testing) due to commence soon.
