New Build

Strathearn School has approval from the Department of Education for the building of a new £14.5 million school on the current site. This is an exciting venture and full details will be available very soon.

Pupil Survey.

We hope to start building our new school in September 2009 and I will be able to show the plans before then. Having designed the overall look we are now gathering views on specific areas; how they should be set out and what they should contain. I would now welcome ideas from pupils on what you would like to see. I hope to get a good response and be able to incorporate the best ideas in our plans.  Please click on the approriate link below to access a survey.
