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]
