История
[ редактировать ]Old building
[edit]The original school building was opened in 29 October 1959 as a junior secondary school and became a six-year comprehensive school in the 1960s.[5][6] In 2000, with the school in a very poor state and needing repairs, Edinburgh Council decided that the cost of repairing the building was too great, and that creating a new building would be a more viable solution.
Before the original school building closed and was then demolished in 2003, ex-teaching staff and students gathered for a party to mark the end of the original school building which stood for over forty years.
New building
[edit]
Pupils and staff moved into the new building in August 2003.[5][7] It is located adjacent to Captain's Road, and to where the old school formerly stood. The functional design has a central hall with classroom wings leading off.[8]
The building was created under a public-private partnership (PPP) scheme by Edinburgh Schools Partnership (ESP). Gracemount was one of several 21st-century school buildings in Edinburgh found to be defective.[9][10] The schools had all been built by Miller Construction, which was acquired by Galliford Try in 2014. Construction expert Prof John Cole published a damning report into the scandal in 2017.[11] Following this the ESP agreed to pay for all structural repair work (Nov 2018).[12]
Cycling event
[edit]The school was the halfway point for the 2017 London–Edinburgh–London cycle ride.
