High Blantyre Primary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High Blantyre Primary is a Scottish state sector school that provides education for children from four years until they are eleven years.
Originally located near High Blantyre Cross, the building was a solid, imposing sandstone buiding featuring eight class rooms, located centrally around a hall/dining area. Next door was a similarly statuesque headmasters house. In the early 1970's the school was showing signs of age and could no longer cope with the influx of pupils from nearby housing developments, so a new school was built further down Hunthill Road (access is actually via Broompark Road). This new school was typically 1970's in its design, featuring improved toilet facilities, a large, flat roof and multiple entrances.
Due to the poor design of the 1970`s built school, a new school was built on the same land and pupils moved in on the term directly after christmas/new year 2005.
In 2006 High Blantyre Primary was commended as an Eco-School
