Dargavel Primary parent and carer update
Dear parent or carer,
I am writing to update you we have now completed the agreement with BAE Systems on the proposed site for a new primary school in Dargavel.
We have concluded the missives on the 8.5-acre site at the north end of Craigton Drive.
This secures space for a new school for 800 pupils as well as an artificial sports pitch which will be available for community use outside school hours.
Also included in the agreement is the transfer of 1.5-acres of land next to the current primary school into our ownership, providing more play and social space and allowing for potential future expansion if needed.
We are moving forward immediately with the work needed to deliver the new school and BAE Systems will get the land ready for construction.
We estimate the new school will be ready to welcome pupils for the start of the school year in August 2027, but are looking at all options to bring that timescale forward if we can.
We will keep you up to date on progress.
I hope this is helpful.
Yours faithfully,
Julie Calder
Head of Education and Interim Chief Education Officer
Renfrewshire Council
