MP CORRI WILSON: “This is an ambitious project and a huge investment in the future of education in the area.

“The delivery of a state-of-the-art campus and enhanced outdoor facilities for children and the wider community is to be welcomed, and I am pleased at how much local people have been involved so far.

“I am confident the whole area will benefit once the campus is complete.”

MSP JEANE FREEMAN: “I am pleased to see this strong commitment by East Ayrshire Council to quality education facilities our children and young people deserve.

“Backing that commitment with significant financial investment will ensure not only excellence in vital school education but also real innovation in the campus.
