Building a new school for a new community

The all-new secondary school for Perth & Kinross Council addresses the region’s growing population. But it offers much more than that. This hi-tech school has an auditorium, open plan classrooms and breakout areas, creating an inspiring and inclusive educational environment.

Delivered in partnership with hub East Central Scotland and located in the new village of Bertha Park, it's the first completely new school to be built in Scotland for 25 years. Watch our film and take a tour.
