McLaughlin & Harvey to start Stirling primary school

Corbiewood Primary School is being built to support the South Stirling Gateway housing development that is going up near junction nine of the M9 motorway. The seven-classroom school will be built in the heart of the development site by McLaughlin & Harvey. It is anticipated to be completed by September 2026 for the start of the new school year.

It will then be followed by a four-classroom extension in 2033/34 depending on roll estimates. It will be the first new school built within the Stirling Council area to support population growth since 1996. McLaughlin & Harvey framework director Chris Boyle said: "Our early partnership with the council, facilitated through the Scape framework, has been the catalyst for designing a truly sustainable project within the agreed budget and timescales.

We look forward to continuing our work with Stirling Council to construct a building which can inspire future generations of young people." The developers are in the first phase of housebuilding on the site following planning permission being granted last year for the first 150 homes. The South Stirling Gateway development is expected to deliver around new 800 homes eventually.
