The new Sidlaw View Primary school building is in its final stages of construction.
The new Sidlaw View Primary school building is in its final stages of construction.

Builders are putting the finishing touches on the new £8 million Sidlaw View Primary School as construction enters the final stage.

Large, airy classrooms, break-out spaces, a dining and assembly hall, a production kitchen and an IT room are among the features to be included in the new facility.

There will also be a nursery and a young mother’s unit, which will serve the adjacent Baldragon Academy.

Up to 400 pupils will be able to attend the school, which will open after the October holiday.

Sidlaw View headteacher Denise McCafferty said: “It’s such a lovely, light building and there’s lots of space for the kids to do different activities.

“They are all very excited, they’ve had a tour of the building at different stages in the construction”

Children and Families Services Convener Stewart Hunter said that Dundee City Council was committed to closing the attainment gap.

He explained: “Continuing investment into our school estate is crucial for the years ahead.

“We are committed to closing the attainment gap and ensuring that even more of our young people are able to take advantage of new opportunities.

“The provision of a high quality learning and teaching environment for young people is an important part of these efforts.”

The project is being delivered by Robertson Tayside.
