As part of the pre-planning application consultation period for a new Brae High School, the first community drop-in event will take place next week.  

Members of the public are invited to contribute their views to help shape the emerging design proposals for the new school at a drop-in event on Tuesday 10th September, from 3.30pm to 7.30pm, in the Secondary Department of Brae High School.  This first event will outline early design approaches for the new campus and the wider school site that will be developed further in the coming months to incorporate stakeholder feedback. 

These consultations will be led by a team from Ryder Architecture whose staff will attend next week, along with members of the Project Team.

There's also an online option for anyone to respond if they are unable to attend events in person - braecampus-consultation.squarespace.com/ - which is open for responses until Tuesday 24th September 2024. 

Feedback received during these events are not representations to the Council’s Planning Service – there will be an opportunity to do so once a formal Planning Application is submitted at a later date.  

A second drop-in event is planned for Tuesday 26th November, also between 3.30pm and 7.30pm, with more detail on emerging building designs and site layout. 

This project is part of the North Schools Programme, a ground breaking partnership between five local authorities – Shetland Islands Council, Orkney Islands Council, Argyll and Bute Council, Moray Council and Aberdeen City Council – to work together to deliver new learning estate.  This collaboration is expected to deliver substantial financial, economic, and social impact benefits.
