New school for South Queensferry

A topping out ceremony was held to mark a key milestone in the construction of the new £40m Queensferry High School.

Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills John Swinney visited and poured a final piece of concrete on the top floor, marking significant progress on the school’s build with work having started on site eight months ago.

The City of Edinburgh Council school will have many facilities which are easily accessible to the public including the multi purpose assembly space with retractable seating that can be used for drama shows and film screenings. Similarly, areas like dining, CDT, food tech and art have been positioned so they can be easily accessed by the community for out of hours classes for maximum use of all these areas.
