Public to be consulted on plans for St Peter’s School

06 November 2018

Aberdeen City councillors today (Tuesday 6 November) agreed to undertake a public consultation on the proposed relocation of St Peter’s School.

The agreed proposal is of the relocation of St. Peter’s to the Riverbank school building once the new Riverbank replacement school is completed.

As part of an internal review officers considered various investment options to the Riverbank School building and have proposed investment option 4.

Option 4 includes:

Improved teaching classrooms/ breakout spaces

Internal & external redecoration

Upgrade of toilets that didn’t form part of extension and refurbishment works in 2012

Window replacement that didn’t form part of 2012 extension and refurbishment works

Upgrade of car park/drop off/set down areas

ICT upgrade

New furniture

Catering Kitchen upgrade

New 4G all-weather pitch

Adjustments to Nursery area

External works (including drainage upgrade).

Councillor John Wheeler, Education Operational Delivery Convener, said: “This is an important step forward in securing the long-term of St Peter’s School in an enhanced environment for pupils and staff alike.”

The primary school is currently at maximum capacity and the preferred option will alleviate the problem.
