Fit For Purpose

Project Introduction

In 2015, the Governing Council adopted a development strategy for the school campus based on the Campus Masterplan devised by the architect Gareth Hoskins. The John Martin Building and related developments in the Lower Primary were the first phase of the strategy. 

Events since 2015 have made us reassess our priorities within the broad framework of the Campus Masterplan. In particular, in the current financial climate there is a need to develop projects which are capable of improving the facilities available to pupils whilst being broadly cost neutral in the medium term. We are also very aware of the need to ensure that our facilities cater equally for all our pupils and enhance our capacity to work with the Watsonian community and other partners.

Public Consultation

We are seeking the views of the public on our proposals for the installation of two artificial grass pitches, associated floodlighting, fencing, areas of hardstanding and infrastructure  at the playing fields located to the west of the campus at Myreside Road. 

 

We welcome your views. Feedback can be provided by completing this form, or by emailing campus-developments@gwc.org.uk (please note these are not representations to City of Edinburgh Council. An opportunity to make representations to the Council will exist when a formal planning application is made).

Thank you to those that were able to attend our Public Consultation Exhibitions held on Monday 10 February and Thursday 6 March. You can also review the proposals below.
