Winchburgh is one of West lothian’s three core development areas which will see a signi cant number of new homes being built over the next ten years. this learning estate project, which should be complete in 2023 includes:
• a replacement Holy Family Primary School with initial capacity for two hundred and thirty-one pupils – this includes a 64 place nursery.
• a non-denominational secondary school – Winchburgh academy – with initial capacity for six hundred and sixty pupils.
• a denominational secondary school – Sinclair academy – with initial capacity for six hundred and sixty pupils.
• a shared physical education and community block with oodlit synthetic and grass sports pitches, and a 25m swimming pool.
“This is a signi cant step forward in what is an enormous investment in education within West Lothian and the local economy, as a whole. We are delighted that signi cant progress is being made on this ambitious programme.
“The new schools and facilities will provide local people with fantastic facilities for generations to come and we’re very proud to delivering this project.”
