The facility, constructed by McLaughlin & Harvey under the SCAPE Scotland framework, represents a significant investment in the area's educational infrastructure. It is the first new school built in the Stirling Council area to accommodate population growth since Newton Primary School in Dunblane opened in 1996.
Patrick Robertson, Headteacher of Corbiewood Primary School, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are incredibly excited to welcome children, families and staff into their new school. This term has been a fantastic opportunity to get to know our Corbiewood families. We can't wait to build on those relationships and our school values as we create a nurturing, exciting space where children can learn, play and grow in this fantastic new environment.”
Cllr Bob Buchanan, Stirling Council's Social Work and Education Convener, shared his delight at previewing the new school with the families of its first pupils. He stated, “Stirling continues to grow with the emergence of the community in South Stirling Gateway and we are committed to ensuring that the infrastructure to support the learning and development of children and young people meets the same level of high standards that has been set across the Council area.”
Danny Mathieson, Operations Director at McLaughlin & Harvey, commented on the project's completion: “It is fantastic to welcome the families who will be part of the school community at the new Corbiewood Primary School. A huge amount of hard work from the project team has gone into bringing the new school to life and we can’t wait to see the new school open its doors.”
