Project overview

This project included relocating Ysgol Rhys Prichard from its current site to the site of the former secondary school Ysgol Pantycelyn, increasing capacity to 240 pupil places with provision for an external Cylch Meithrin integrated into the new school building.  This project offered a unique opportunity to utilise and recycle a redundant secondary school site to significantly improve primary school provision within Llandovery, with improved facilities to share with the local community making the school a community hub for the town of Llandovery.

Project cost

The project cost was £4.3m. Funded 50% by Welsh Government through its 21st Century Schools and Colleges Programme and 50% by the Local Authority's Modernising Education Programme.

A separate £350k community hub capital grant from Welsh Government was secured to provide a Leisure facility integrated into the new school building.
