Dens Road School was formally opened on the 5th January 1911. We are about to celebrate our one hundreth year.
To help us celebrate we will use this blog to share some of the extracts of our school log books dating from the opening of the school. These have lots of interesting entries about school life throughout the past 100 years.

New Dundee School
Dens Road School to be erected by Dundee School Board in place of St Salvador’s Episcopal School, which is to be closed, is to cost about £14,500. The works committee on Tuesday agreed to recommend the acceptance of offers from Tradesmen amounting in the aggregate to £12,500 and the cost of furnishing with architects fees etc, will amount to £2000. It should be stated that the first estimate was £19,000, but there has been a good deal of cutting down, with the result indicated.
