The new Hawkhill Primary School in Winchburgh will provide non-denominational education for up to 231 primary when it opens in August 2025 and for up to 42 nursery children when the nursery is established in future years. The new school is required to cope with increasing demand in the growing Winchburgh Core Development Area which will see a significant number of new homes being built over the next ten years.
The school roll has been built as a single stream but will have a flexible design that will allow for future expansion if required. The site for the new school at Hawkhill, Winchburgh was identified in the 2018 West Lothian Local Development Plan. This location is on the eastern most fringes of Winchburgh, but within the realised masterplan it will be within the heart of a new housing community.
The design of the new state-of-the art school incorporates elements of the award-winning Calderwood Primary School, with innovation and flexibility as core objectives. The two-storey school is contemporary to suit a range of teaching and learning styles. Learning spaces are flexible in design and include traditional classrooms, some without doors as well as open plan spaces. Flexible furniture, double-height glazing, use of colour make this a special, bright and lively space that the pupils and staff can shape to their own needs.
Hawkhill Primary School will form part of the Winchburgh cluster, which includes Winchburgh PS. The cluster has strong working relationships across schools and very effective transition arrangement to Winchburgh Academy.
We are seeking an enthiastic individual to support breakfast club provision and over lunch periods.
