New school

A new Earlston High School was built along with two other schools in the region,[2] moving the school from the village's High Street to the outskirts. This was to cope with the rising pupil body and the limited space available in the old building. The new location also allowed space for a range of new sports facilities, including dedicated a dedicated rugby field and multi-use games area. A dedicated hockey field was also built in the floodplain just to the north of the school. The new school building was designed by architects 3D Reid and built by Graham Construction, opening its doors to pupils in August 2009.

Primary school

Earlston Primary School has strong links to Earlston High School, and adjoined the old main high school building.
