South Ayrshire Council is asking members of the public for their views on concept designs for a new primary school and early years campus in Girvan.

The new campus, which would be built in front of the existing primary school, will feature sports pitches, outdoors play areas, and accessible parking.

The old building will be demolished when the new campus opens.

The designs will be shown at two public drop-in sessions where attendees will also be able to discuss the plans with the project team.

Councillor Martin Kilbride, buildings, housing and environment portfolio holder for South Ayrshire Council, said: “The original school is around 70 years old and there’s a clear gulf between this school and the new schools that have been completed across South Ayrshire.

“Finalising the designs is an important milestone and I would encourage local people to engage with the consultation process.”

Councillor William Grant, education portfolio holder, added: “Following the completion of Sacred Heart Primary School, this is the next step to significantly boosting learning in Girvan and the surrounding area.

“The new school would also become a hub for the local community as they will be able to access improved facilities, such as the sports pitches.”

The consultation closes on 18 October.
