Temporary classrooms are being brought in at a £30million secondary school in Elgin which only opened in October 2017.

The move is being prompted by more children than predicted coming to Elgin High from new housing developments in the catchment area.

There has also been an increase at the school in the number of pupils with additional support needs from across Moray.

Elgin High is capable of coping with up to 825 pupils.

But there are now 848 children at the secondary.

And that number is expected to reach almost 900 over the next five years.

At a meeting of the full Moray Council last week members agreed to buy ‘a two-classroom modular unit’ to ease the situation.

The matter was discussed in private.
