Penygawsi Primary School

 

This project has provided a new school building with state-of-the art facilities for staff and pupils in Llantrisant, to replace the older school buildings on its existing site.

The first phase of the project to construct a new two-storey building with first-class facilities was completed in July 2024, and staff and pupils started to enjoy their new building from the start of the 2024/25 academic year.

Phase two is focusing on the development’s external areas – demolishing the old school buildings and constructing a new car park, two Multi Use Games Areas, a grass sports pitch, and 40 cycle storage spaces.

The overall investment is being jointly delivered by the Council and Welsh Government, using funding secured from the Mutual Investment Model (MIM) – the revenue funding stream of the Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.
