PUPILS are due to step into a new multi-million pound primary school after the February holidays. Letham Mains Primary School, which is at the heart of more than 800 new homes on Haddington’s western edge, was handed over to East Lothian Council this week. Next month, following the February school break, the school will be open to pupils, although it remains to be seen when youngsters will attend due to ongoing coronavirus restrictions. Councillor Shamin Akhtar, who represents the town on East Lothian Council, is the local authority’s spokeswoman for education and children’s wellbeing and welcomed the impressive new school, which has been funded entirely through developers’ contributions.
