A HISTORIC Paisley school has welcomed funding that will go towards building a new modern campus.
Paisley Grammar School is set to awarded additional funding from the Scottish Government’s £1bn Learning Estates Investment Programme if proposals to relocate the school are approved by councillors. The cash will be added to Renfrewshire Council’s committed funding.
The school has been located on the town’s Glasgow Road since 1898. The building is now starting to show major defects.
Councillor Jim Paterson, the Education Convener at Renfrewshire Council welcomed the news. He said: “The announcement of additional funding for a Paisley Grammar Community Campus is very welcome. It’s good to know this funding is available to draw from if councillors approve the relocation proposals.
“Ensuring that all children and young people have the best learning environment possible is vital to ensure every pupil has the facilities and opportunities to reach their potential.
