Comely Bank’s Flora Stevenson Primary School was evacuated yesterday when asbestos was discovered during building maintenance work.
Speaking last night, Head of Schools Mike Rosendale said: “Pupils at Flora Stevenson’s Primary School were relocated to a local high school on Thursday morning as a precaution, after a small amount of asbestos was disturbed. An independent inspection was carried out on Thurdsay afternoon and has indicated that the building is safe. A full clean will now take place with the aim of reopening the school on Monday. We would like to thank all parents and staff for their cooperation and assistance.”
