Watch this space for updates on the new Dumfries High School as it emerges from the ground - what a transformation it will be for the learners and the staff team.
Today I was welcomed onto site by Neil McIntyre to see the good progress made towards the new Dumfries High School for Dumfries and Galloway Council This will transform the learning environment for pupils and staff and they will be excited to see it really having started after a long and patient wait. I know that it’s what happens in classrooms that counts, that it’s the quality of learning and teaching that makes the biggest difference to children, but these projects show children that we invest in them because they, and their futures, are important. I am proud to chair the project board for Dumfries Learning Town and to see this next phase - 10 years since original business case- is incredibly important. Thank you hub South West Scotland and Morgan Sindall and all the team who are on site to make this happen.
