Parents of school pupils in Edinburgh are furious about the temporary classrooms their children are being taught in.

They have complained that the building being used to teach pupils from Oxgangs Primary School, which is currently closed, is unsuitable.

The pupils are being taught in a largely wooden room at the back of an education centre in Edinburgh.

The building is said to be primarily used for educational purposes during exam time to minimise the impact on classrooms in the education centre.

However, the building is due to be replaced subject to finances being made available.

Alternative teaching space had to be found for the pupils after storm damage forced the closure of Oxgangs Primary School in January.

Edinburgh City Council has said the replacement teaching space is suitable to continue educating P6 and P7 pupils.

The council said it has no choice but to put alternative arrangements in place and stressed it is a temporary solution.

A spokesperson said the council appreciates it is a difficult time for parents across the city.

They added that the council takes complaints about accommodation seriously and that the safety of children remains its paramount concern.
