CHILDREN and staff at Ysgol Rhys Prichard have moved into their new £4.3million school – and they couldn’t be happier.
The primary school has relocated to the former Ysgol Pantycelyn secondary school site increasing its capacity to 240 pupil places with provision for an external Cylch Meithrin integrated into the new school building.
As well as providing bright and airy accommodation and state-of-the-art facilities, it also includes a large hall which can be shared with the community of Llandovery, a rugby pitch, multi-use games area and hard and soft play areas.
Headteacher Edward Davies said: “ Moving to a newly modernised site, will provide a welcome boost that will enable the teachers to deliver an even higher standard of support to pupils. As well as providing fantastic outdoor space, the building also has a range of indoor facilities, including a modern science and technology room, which will help deliver the areas of learning of the new curriculum.
