About the project
Dumfries High School, is the new build high school to replace the current facility located in Dumfries, Scotland.
Delivered by hub South West Scotland (hub SW) in partnership with Dumfries and Galloway Council, with funding supported by the Learning Estate Investment Programme, the construction of the £53 million project will provide state-of-the-art educational facilities for over 930 pupils.
Designed by Ryder Architecture, the new school will be built on the site of the former high school’s football pitch and is due for completion in spring 2026.
