The "deteriorating"school is no "longer fit for purpose" and "struggles to provide suitable facilities for a group of young people with complex additional support needs" according to a council report.A refurbishment and extension at Linburn Academy is set to cost £9.2 million with LEIP funding bringing in £3.28 million.
