Kingussie High School not to re-open until Friday
Highland Council is informing parents and pupils of Kingussie High School that the school will now not re-open to children until Friday (August 23).
The school was due to re-open tomorrow (Tuesday) - a day after the rest of the region’s schools - to allow for the opening of the new £3 million extension.
Education bosses have apologised for the inconvenience and said the delay is due to incomplete works on construction of the new block at the school and the associated clean-up.
A Highland Council spokesperson said: "We are extremely disappointed that despite the huge efforts that have been made by many to have the school open as planned to pupils tomorrow (Wednesday) this is not going to be possible due to the amount of work required to set up the classrooms and the time required to allow staff to prepare for the arrival of pupils.
"Regrettably, we have had to take the decision keep the school closed to pupils until Friday (August 23).
"This is extremely disappointing given the level of activity which has been focused on the school and the huge progress which was made over yesterday and today."
