Background

A key recommendation of the Audit Scotland report, 'Improving the school estate' is for the Scottish Government to identify and share good practice in school design. The case study material on this website has been prepared to help highlight good practice and demonstrate different approaches to school design issues. This will help to inform local authorities and others involved in the planning, briefing and design of school estate projects in Scotland.

Each case study features an individual school estate project which has recently been completed in Scotland, covering nursery, primary, secondary and special education sectors. These contain background information, images, plans and details on the school design and user perspectives.
