This news comes as Fife Council announced that it is not planning to build a new primary school within the town, as a way of coping with the increase in housing in the east of Dunfermline.
The planning application for Carnegie Primary School would involve the creation of ancillary accommodation and four new classrooms.
The facility, which opened four years ago, has been described by Alex Salmond, the former First Minister, as being Scotland’s finest school.
In its statement announcing the Plans, Fife City Council said that:
“The extension is needed to provide additional capacity at Carnegie PS to support a new area of housing development on the Shepherd Offshore site.”
Financing for the project will be provided through developer contributions, after the Shepherd Offshore area was rezoned for mixed use, enabling houses to be constructed there.
Local schools like this one can use Stationery printers in Dunfermline to keep them well stocked with the educational materials they need.
Carnegie Primary School currently teaches 450 pupils, as well as providing nursery education for another 160.
If the project gets the green light, work will begin by November and be finished by August next year.Get a Free Quote for Stationery Get a Free Quote for Plans
