Potential options for a Gorebridge High School location

Councillor Ellen Scott, Cabinet Member for Education, is pleased to report that at the meeting of Midlothian Council on 24 June it was agreed that detailed site search activity is now carried out for a prospective Gorebridge High School location, when required.  

Funding available

Appropriate funding has been allocated for this exercise.

Developing options proposals

These next steps activities will develop an options proposal on preferred sites and report back to Council on whether to progress potential options.

Site analysis

A site analysis will short list suitable sites. This will take into account principles of place-making, design and education purposes, including proposed catchment areas.

Involving the school and wider community

Any later stage or design of a future school will refine clear aims and objectives of the scheme together with the school and wider community.
