Prestwick super-school plan unveiled as South Ayrshire Council lift lid on plans for £19.3m campus at Glenburn

Here is the stunning new look for education in Prestwick.

Plans have finally been unveiled for the £19.3 million super-campus which will unite Glenburn and St Ninians primaries on the same site.

The school, which will also feature its own stand-alone nursery, is set to revamp the tired classrooms of both schools into one hub.

Both schools will retain their own separate identities while co-existing on the same site.

Council chiefs hope construction could be completed by December 2021, although that could well be affected by current lockdown measures.

The campus will feature state-of-the-art learning environments, interactive play areas and first class sporting facilities.

Outdoor classroom facilities, multi-use games halls, social areas for play and even allotments will form part of the setup.

There will also be fully accessible community spaces which are not present at the existing schools.

Councillor William Grant, Children and Young People Portfolio Holder for South Ayrshire Council said: “This marks another important milestone for South Ayrshire Council. We are not only transforming learning for generations to come but putting schools back at the heart of our communities, ensuring their first rate facilities can be enjoyed by everyone.

“Both Glenburn and St Ninian’s have a proud history of learning and this is something which we are not only protecting but enhancing by providing them with the best facilities possible.”
