Strontian Community School

Strontian is a remote rural village on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, over an hour away from Fort William by car and ferry. The Communities Housing Trust (CHT) has worked with the community over a number of years facilitating a Community Place Planning exercise, which included the delivery of affordable housing and providing project and development agency services on Scotland’s second community-owned primary school.

CHT undertook a Local Housing Need Survey in 2015, and then negotiated the purchase of land. A joint development with Lochaber Housing Association (LHA) resulted in the completion of 8 Social Rent homes for LHA, and CHT completed 3 Rent To Buy homes, which were 
shortlisted in the World Habitat Awards and Scottish Rural Parliament awards.

The community-owned school has since
won two national awards: ‘Innovation in Delivering Value' at the Education Buildings Scotland Awards 2019, and the Scottish Civic Trust My Place Awards 2020.
