New primary school for Edinburgh gets go-ahead

A new school for 420 pupils and 80 nursery children is to be built at Canaan Lane in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh City Council gave the go-ahead for the school this week; work is expected to start in the next few weeks with the school scheduled to open August 2021.

The school has been designed to complement the Grange Conservation Area and will put a special emphasis on outdoor learning.

There is no name for the new school as yet – councillors say that will be chosen in consultation with the local community.
