The new home for St Mary鈥檚 RC Primary School and Burnbrae Primary will be built on the site of the former Hopefield Primary.
The appointment of McLaughlin & Harvey was agreed at a full council meeting today. Councillor Jim Muirhead, Midlothian Council鈥檚 cabinet member for education, said: 鈥淎ppointing the contractor is a real milestone in this project. It will allow us to relocate St Mary鈥檚 to a new school but also provide Burnbrae with extra capacity to accommodate growing pupil numbers coming from the Hopefield Farm housing development and other developments.鈥�
McLaughlin and Harvey will begin work in January 2019 on the project, which will include a new grass pitch and new school building.
