Aviemore Primary School Update

The handover date of the new £11.9 million Aviemore Primary School and Community Centre has been delayed to mid-July. However, the school is still on course to be ready for use for the start of the new term in August.

Aviemore Community Children's Group will provide pre-school education and childcare within the new building and will continue to operate out of Aviemore Village Hall until the new facilities are ready.

The new school facilities will include 10 primary classrooms, two general purpose classrooms and a resources area; wrap around nursery unit and childcare facilities; assisted support needs facilities;  sports hall;  kitchen and dining facilities; support for learning unit; biomass boiler and a fenced sports pitch.

It will also feature a range of community facilities including a community library, service point, meeting room, fitness suite, sports changing facilities and two multi-purpose activity rooms.

The development has been designed in house by the Council’s Housing and Property Service on behalf of the Education, Culture and Sport Service.
As part of the overall operational management of the new community facilities, a management agreement has been established between Aviemore Community Centre Company and the Council’s Education, Culture and Sport Service.
