This project has provided a new school building with state-of-the-art facilities on the existing school site, which has replaced the older and temporary accommodation with a first-class learning environment.
This major investment for the community is jointly funded by the Council and Welsh Government via the Mutual Investment Model, which is the revenue funding stream of the Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme. This funding was initial confirmed in December 2022.
Phase One of the construction phase delivered the brand new school building, which opened to staff and pupils in March 2025.
The new building has capacity for 480 pupils (plus nursery places), and delivers a state-of-the-art environment that includes a central heart-space, classrooms for Nursery through to Year 6, a main hall, and supporting areas. The building will achieve Net Zero carbon in operation, conforming to both the Council’s and Welsh Government’s Climate Change commitments.

Construction contractor Morgan Sindall has now turned its attention to Phase Two of the project – which is focussing on the external areas of the wider development. These works will remove the temporary school accommodation from the site, demolish all of the remaining former buildings and establish the school’s new outdoor spaces, which will include building a two-court Multi Use Games Area, hard play areas, and parking spaces.
This second phase of work is due for completion during autumn 2025.
