New Catholic School in Rhyl
The proposals for the new 3-16 Catholic school in Rhyl have taken an important step forward.
The amalgamation of Ysgol Mair and Blessed Edward Jones Catholic High school has now been approved after no objections to the proposal were received. This means the new schools will be established on the 1st September 2019, with the two existing schools closing.
Alongside this, Kier Construction, who were appointed in May 2017 to take forward plans to deliver the new 3-16 Catholic School, have made great progress in developing the designs for the new school. The finishing touches are being made to the plans in advance of consultation with the public in October. This will allow residents, parents and pupils to have their say on the design before it is submitted for Planning Approval. Confirmation of the arrangements will be provided on the Council's website and through its social media channels.
The project is planned to be funded in partnership by the Council and the Welsh Government, through its 21st Century Schools and Education Capital Programme and the first stage of the Business Case based on these initial plans will be considered by the Welsh Government during the autumn.
