New school to be named after iconic Ross mountain
BEN Wyvis Primary School has been chosen as the name for the new amalgamated building to replace the existing primaries at Conon Bridge and Maryburgh.
Members of The Highland Council’s education, culture and sport committee have agreed to the most popular name suggested for the new school by pupils, staff, parents and community members in both villages.
The title was presented to councillors as the most favoured suggestion from the results of a local consultation.
Ben Wyvis Primary School will comprise 10 classrooms when it opens on the site of the current Conon school in August 2012. It will also have a nursery and wrap-around childcare facilities, a 2-court sports hall with changing rooms, kitchen and dining facilities, a school library, community room and kitchen and a floodlit multi-use games area.
