New Dailly Primary School in South Ayreshire welcomes students

South West’s new Dailly Primary School opens to first generation of students following successful completion.

A brand new primary school has opened in the rural South Ayrshire village of Dailly, following a successful construction and infrastructure-focused partnership hub South West.

The new Dailly Primary School is a two-storey building, replacing three separate buildings with a single structure that has space for 100 pupils. It has also been designed to accommodate 30 children in the integrated Early Years Centre, allowing three and four year olds to attend in a single session.

The project was delivered on time and on budget, by a collaboration between hub South West and South Ayrshire Council.

Described by locals as a great example of targeted investment, the partnership enables cost-efficient design and construction of new infrastructural facilities in the region.

A new method of partnership working and procurement has provided value for money and helped generate growth in the local economy.

Construction work on the project was carried out by Morrison Construction.

Councillor Margaret Toner, Portfolio Holder for Lifelong Learning said the new building was a great example of targeted investment making a real difference, “This fantastic new building will act as a resource for the whole community, with generations of children standing to benefit from a bright, new school that will transform the standard of education.

“We are committed to helping our rural communities to thrive and this new school forms part of a much wider programme of investment across South Ayrshire that is helping to deliver a lasting legacy through a modernised schools portfolio.

“A fortnight ago we celebrated the opening of Tarbolton Community Campus and in a few weeks we look forward to the doors opening at the new leisure facility in Girvan.”

Michael McBrearty, Chief Executive of development partner hub South West, added, “Dailly Primary School is a wonderful state-of-the-art facility that I’m sure all pupils and teachers will enjoy.

“Dailly is the third of four projects we will have delivered on behalf of South Ayrshire Council in four months: Marr College Phase-1 was handed over in December 2016 and the Tarbolton Community Campus in February this year.

“The fourth consecutive project is the much anticipated Carrick Leisure Centre (the Quay Zone) which is due to handover at the end of this month.

“It has been just under a year since contracts were signed and work began, so it is great tribute to partnership working that we can now celebrate the finished result. The new campus will be a great asset.”
