Hopefield is an area in the south of Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, occupied by a mid-20th century residential neighbourhood[1] and by an early-21st century, ongoing housing development,[2] [3] built on land dating back to 17th century Polton South Mains Farm.[4]
The area also contains a new school, Burnbrae Primary[5] which was opened in 2012[6] but required an additional 'split campus' solution by 2017 to accommodate the many families with young children moving to the area,[7] with nursery and Primary 1 classes to be built alongside the already-planned replacement facility[8] for the local Catholic primary school, St Mary's, to be completed in 2020.[9] However, this still would not meet the demand for places, and the main Burnbrae school also had to be extended in 2019.[10]
