The area also contains a new school, Burnbrae Primary which was opened in 2012 but required an additional 'split campus' solution by 2017 to accommodate the many families with young children moving to the area, with nursery and Primary 1 classes to be built alongside the already-planned replacement facility for the local Catholic primary school, St Mary's, to be completed in 2020. However, this still would not meet the demand for places, and the main Burnbrae school also had to be extended in 2019.
