Speaking earlier in the year, Aberdeenshire Council’s head of Performance and Resources, Craig Clement, said “The new £12.9m school will have facilities for primary pupils as well as pre-school and play group provision, a dedicated community room, a two-court sports hall, library, 13 classrooms and office and staff areas.
“Outside, the playground and all-weather pitch will give pupils an excellent opportunity for outdoor learning and the chance to take part in different sports.”
Lesley-Anne Munro, Head Teacher at Hillside Primary School said on Tuesday: “Today we welcomed pupils to our lovely school here at Hillside. It has been an exciting and busy day and we are looking forward to a future full of joy and learning in our brand new building.
“The school will celebrate its official opening later this year.”
