Kirkcaldy firm wins £240,000 for Fife school extension

RG Construction has been chosen by Fife Council to carry out the works, which will see two new classrooms and a new staff room built and a new softplay surface laid in the playground.

The £240,000 contract - details of which were published on Public Contracts Scotland - covers the construction of the new block itself but does not include the subsequent fit-out to make it ready for learning. The works are expected to take no more than 38 weeks to complete.

Plans were approved last summer after the local authority secured £1.6m of funding from Persimmon Homes to improve the school.

The housebuilder was asked to make the payment as a condition of approval for a 335-home development on the western edge of the town.

The remaining funding will be used to reshape the interior of the school to create larger classrooms and a longer dining hall.
