The council is now preparing to bring in portacabins next year to stop learners from being left out in the cold

The new Dargavel Primary School in Bishopton should have been able to accommodate 1,100 pupils, but due to an “error” by officials, the new building can only hold 430 kids.

In his letter to parents, Steven Quinn, Director of Children's Services at the authority, said: “I am very sorry to advise you an error was made when determining pupil numbers for the new primary school in 2017.” Mr Quinn said new their new “robust” projection “identifies the need to support a peak of around 1,100 pupils as Dargavel village grows over the next decade.”

“Pupils and parents have been failed by the abject incompetence of this SNP-run council but Labour can’t dodge their responsibility. “Parents have been told that six ‘modular classrooms’ will be in place by next year to accommodate the greater numbers – in other words portacabins in playgrounds. Mr Quinn told The Herald: “I am very sorry for this error and apologise to pupils, parents, and carers at Dargavel Primary School and to families across Dargavel Village.
