The 1200 capacity Queensferry High School includes greatly enhanced sports facilities such as a larger games hall and a six-lane swimming pool, a new fitness centre, dance studio and floodlit 3G and 4G pitches. Hub South East is leading the way in realising progressive government policy in relation to low carbon, as the new school is being used as a pilot project which is receiving funds through SFT to ensure a low carbon design. Ultimately this will not only satisfy increasing environmental targets but it should have a beneficial effect on the learning environment and educational attainment for its young people
