Educational benefits of the Thomas Muir site



Here are the educational benefits, as stated by the council, why they went against 'pubic opinion' and switch the site of the new Bishopbriggs Academy from the intended Bishopbriggs High site to the Thomas Muir site.

Educational benefits...

1. It's flat -
Do children not learn on schools built on a slope?

2. More spacious corridors -
Do children learn a lot walking along corridors?

3. Easier to manage social areas -
Is the management of the school and educational benefit?

4. Continuity of educational provision throughout the build period -
Both schools are being used during the building of the Academy, St Ninian's will use the Thomas Muir site. It could have been used while the school was being built at the High School site!

5. Excellent outdoor sports activities -
Check the two diagrams the council sent you. On the High School site a large portion, on the left, with multi purpose courts has been cut off

Isn't it wonderful that the five other schools get built where the locals asked for but we did not get ours but had to move to accomodate another school while theirs was built
