en.Wedoany.com Reported - A 12-week public consultation period will begin for the construction plans of the new Brae High School in Shetland, led by Ryder Architecture, during which the public can provide feedback on the latest design proposals for the school and the wider site.

The new school will form part of the Brae Campus, which includes early childhood education, primary, secondary, and enhanced learning facilities, along with parking and external landscape spaces within the existing site.

In January 2024, Shetland Islands Council approved the outline business case for the Brae Campus, with the project's estimated cost at approximately £42.5 million at that time. The final investment scale will be determined upon approval of the full business case, expected to be submitted in early 2027.

The project is part of the North Schools Programme, a collaboration between five local authorities: Shetland Islands Council, Orkney Islands Council, Argyll and Bute Council, Moray Council, and Aberdeen City Council, to jointly build new learning facilities. This partnership is expected to deliver economic, financial, and social benefits.

An in-person consultation event will be held at the current Brae High School on Wednesday, June 24, from 3:30 PM to 7:30 PM. From that date until Friday, August 14, the public can also provide comments on the proposed project through online channels.

Councillor Davie Sandison, Chair of Shetland Islands Council's Education and Families Committee, stated that the project team is continuously advancing significant work on the new all-through high school and hopes that parents, students, and the community will provide feedback on the latest design proposals before the planning application is submitted.
