£100m PFI project...




The brand new schools will hopefully be built in the following areas:
... - Thomas Muir High School and Bishopbriggs High School in Bishopbriggs will amalgamate with a new school being built on the Bishopbriggs High School site...


In September 2003, questionnaires were sent to every household in the area, including all parents and staff asking for their opinion on the new proposals. A further questionnaire was sent in February 2004 to point out relevant options to residents. Public meetings were also held in February. In March 2004, the Project Team encouraged teaching staff to attend Management and Professional Development Group Meetings to contribute to the project. Later, in June 2004, pupils were also involved with the project through consultation workshops.

As you can see the most people wanted a better school even if it cost more. That's exactly the option on the High school site, but this was not the option the council decided.
