Exciting news for Cornelly in Bridgend! 🎉 Plans for the new Welsh-medium primary school, Ysgol y Ferch o’r Sgêr, have been officially greenlit by the council. This state-of-the-art facility promises a fresh start for the community, accommodating 420 pupils and a 60-place nursery, complete with a playing field and multi-use games area.
The approval followed a public consultation addressing changes to bus drop-off zones, with concerns about congestion and safety raised by locals. Despite eight objections, the council responded positively, highlighting opportunities to improve local traffic issues. Expect to see the introduction of double yellow lines and improved highway arrangements to keep our young learners safe.
This project is part of a larger school modernisation initiative in the area, accompanying plans for a new English-medium primary school. Together, they’re set to transform education in Cornelly, providing modern spaces for both Welsh and English-medium learning.
Cheers to a vibrant future for our little ones, where they can thrive and grow! 🌟
