The community campus is the most significant school investment in North Ayrshire’s history. Created from the closure and merger of Ardrossan Academy and Winton Primary School and Early Years Class, the shared community facilities will include:

a library and learning hub
a sports hall, gym, and swimming pools
dance and fitness studios
two full-sized outdoor sport pitches
a multi-use games area

Works will develop the disused former Shell site, approximately 7.5ha in area. Before the first bricks are laid, extensive remediation works will be carried out.

Plans will see the construction of a Community Campus with early years, primary and secondary provision including the Astra base, a specialist unit for learners with autism. There will be an outdoor learning landscape with recreational growing spaces, parking and infrastructure.
