Investment

The Council is building a new Dingwall Primary School and St Clement's Special School in Dingwall, scheduled for completion in 2030. 

As part of the Highland Investment Plan, all new school buildings will be designed as Community Points of Delivery (PODs), with the flexibility to accommodate education provision alongside other community facilities, council services and partner organisations, within modern, locally accessible community hubs.

The multi-million-pound investment will see both schools accommodated in one campus building. Within the building, each school will retain their individual identities, with their own name, staff, management, entrance, car-parking and facilities.

The Dingwall Community PoD will incorporate: 

  • A new Dingwall Primary School, including Gaelic Medium Education and Early Years provision. The school will have capacity for 456 children and 88 early years places.  

  • A new St Clement’s Special School, with capacity for 76 pupils. 

  • Flexible office space for council and partner agency staff. 

  • A disability sports centre. 

  • A 3G synthetic pitch, offering community access out-with school hours 

Hub North Scotland is the council's delivery partner for the Highland Investment Plan. Robertson Construction has been identified as the preferred main contractor.
