Fox Covert Campus

A new main building at Fox Covert Campus

We're proposing to fully replace the Fox Covert Campus main building. The new building will be a joint campus for Fox Covert Primary School and St Andrew's Fox Covert Roman Catholic Primary School.

Our proposals are for the new building to be constructed along the northern edge of the site, with the existing facilities remaining open during the construction process. The proposed building will step down following the site topography and will generally be two storeys in height.

Following completion of the new building, the existing main building will be demolished to make space for new sports pitches and external facilities. The Nursery (and playground space) and The Den building (south east of site) will not be affected.

If these proposals are approved, we expect the new building to be completed in 2028. 

Take part in our consultation

We'll soon launch a public consultation on our proposals. Full details of the online consultation will be published on this web page and through the Council’s communications channels.

You can also join us at one of our upcoming exhibition and public engagement events where our team will be available to discuss the plans and listen to your views.

We'll be at at Fox Covert Campus, 2 Clerwood Terrace, Edinburgh, EH12 8PG on the following dates:

  • Thursday 30 April 2026, 4.30pm – 8.30pm
  • Thursday 28 May 2026, 4.30pm – 8.30pm
