The project has been delivered for Fife Council by hub East Central Scotland in partnership with BAM Construction.
Headteacher Iain Hughes said: "The excitement is reaching fever pitch now as we get closer to actually moving in. The old school is a well-loved building with a lot of history behind it, but the learning opportunities which the new building open to us are beyond compare.

Senior pupils were given a tour of the building this afternoon and the SQA exams will be held there in the next few weeks before the whole school moves over to the new building in June.
