Cllr Tim Eagle, Chair of Moray Council’s Children and Young People’s Services Committee, said the school now offers better spaces for the children to learn in, and for the staff to teach.
“As well as this investment in the school for the benefit of the children who attend Millbank now and in the future, we’re also investing in the teaching profession here in Moray by creating modern work spaces for teaching in the 21st century"
