Highland Schools PFI

Client: Alpha Schools
Value: £134 million

The Highland Schools PFI project has delivered 10 new schools in the biggest building programme ever to be undertaken by a local authority in the Highlands.

The multi-million PPP project provides new facilities for three secondary schools, five primaries (including a Gaelic medium school), one combined primary and secondary, and a special educational needs school. Eight of the schools will be located around Inverness, and one each at Portree (Skye) and Kinlochleven.

The schools will provide replacement facilities for approximately 15 per cent of the Highland Council’s estate (by pupil numbers) and also facilities for new catchment areas.
