Boost for Halfway School, Llanelli
Work has started on a £3.5million scheme for Halfway School in Llanelli.
It will be delivered in three phases and is due for completion in December, 2010.
Phase 1 involves developing a temporary staff car park, mobile classrooms and office facilities.
The existing 1910 building will be remodelled in phase 2, along with the building of a new extension which will house a school hall and kitchen facilities.
New improved vehicular access, car parking facilities and a key stage two playground area will also be carried out.
Phase three will involve the removal of temporary mobiles, the demolition of the canteen and the construction of new key stage one and early years playground areas.
The investment is part of Carmarthenshire County Council’s Modernising Education Provision programme.
To date, almost £70million has been spent on new buildings and schools improvements throughout the county.
In the Llanelli area, new schools have opened at Bryn and Bryn Teg; Swiss Valley and Llannon have had major improvements; and new schools are currently being built at Brynsierfel, Ysgol Maes y Morfa and Ysgol y Felin.
Education executive board member Cllr Gwynne Wooldridge said: “We want to provide the best for children in Carmarthenshire and this latest new investment at Halfway demonstrates our commitment, and our success through the Modernising Education Provision programme.
“Every child in Carmarthenshire should have the kind of facility this will deliver, we are already making great strides with a number of new schools built and improvements made.
“Hundreds more children can look forward to enjoying the same high quality provision in the next year or so, and the programme will continue beyond that until every child in the county has access to the first class facilities they will soon enjoy at Halfway and at so many other schools.”
