Ysgol Bro Teifi will open its doors to the community to explore the school before it opens.
Work on building Wales’ first purpose built 3 to 19 school, Ysgol Bro Teifi, started in October 2014 and the Open Evening will be an opportunity for the community to see the facility and the furniture in place before it officially opens in September 2016.
Councillor Hag Harries, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Learning Services, Children and Young People’s Partnership said “This is a very exciting opportunity to step into Wales’ first purpose built 3 to 19 school. The doors will be open to welcome children, parents, friends and the public to explore the new facility as well as talk to teachers.”
Ysgol Bro Teifi will bring together Ysgol Aberbanc, Ysgol Coedybryn, Ysgol Llandysul, Ysgol Pontsian and Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi.
The facility will incorporate capacity of 678 Secondary School pupils and 360 primary School pupils; an Integrated Children’s Centre, linked to the Nursery, with a capacity of 30 pupils; a four court sports hall, fitness suite and associated storage and changing facilities; and external sports facilities, including a full size, 2G, floodlit, all-weather sports pitch.
The building’s unique design allow various elements of the school to be utilised as a community facility out of school hours. In addition to the general teaching spaces, facilities that will be available to the community include the Main Hall and Stage, drama facilities and catering facilities, which could provide the perfect setting for Eisteddfods, drama productions and other community events.
Ysgol Bro Teifi Open Evening will be held on Wednesday, 29 June 2016 between 4pm and 8pm.
