The visit was especially timely as Viewforth’s live construction site is nearby. As well as learning more about the health and safety measures on-site and the chance to try on some of the safety gear the site operatives need to wear, Whiteburn’s Eve McCurrich gave the children a history lesson about the former school that was on the land being developed.

It’s all about being part of being involved in all aspects of community life as Eve McCurrich, managing director for Whiteburn, said: “Our key objective is to bring the former Viewforth High School site back to life, and to create a great place for people to live. But we’re also mindful that we want to be more than just a developer, and that we want to really be part of the local community in Kirkcaldy.

“Visiting Sinclairtown Primary School was an ideal opportunity for us to do that, while also making sure that our message to never play near a construction site was shared in a positive, constructive and fun way.”

Mrs Paulene Bradshaw, headteacher at Sinclairtown Primary School in Kirkcaldy added: “Our children really enjoyed the informative presentation by the team from Whiteburn. As well as teaching the children about how the site will be regenerated from the previous Viewforth High School, it was refreshing to see the importance the team placed on sharing their message about staying safe near a construction site and potential jobs and careers involved.

“When you consider that some of our children will pass the development site on their walk to school, it’s important that they are aware of the key things that will help keep them safe.”
