Work on the Hydrotherapy pool project at Ysgol Tir Morfa in Rhyl is seeing rapid progress, with the landmark project set to be completed in the Autumn.

The project, which has been designed by the Council’s in-house architecture team, and started earlier in the year, will bring a state-of-the-art Hydrotherapy provision to the school, the first of its kind in Denbighshire.

Equipped with a 19ft specialised Hydrotherapy Pool, the new facility will be situated within the school grounds in a standalone building.

The main core structure has now been completed, with work now focusing on the roof and insulation. The pool itself will be installed later in the summer.

Once complete, the building will feature energy efficient insulation and solar panels, helping the facility reduce its carbon footprint and reduce energy costs simultaneously. The building will also be heated through underfloor heating.

Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Education, Children and Families said:

“I am really enthused to see how much progress this project has made.

This will be the first of its kind in Denbighshire and will bring a really valued provision to the school and wider area.

The work is progressing quickly, and I am looking forward to seeing it open in the Autumn.”

Susan Roberts, Headteacher at Ysgol Tir Morfa said:

“We are really excited to see how much progress has been made on the development of our Hydrotherapy Pool.

The pupils at Ysgol Tir Morfa are excited to be able to have access to this wonderful hydrotherapy facility which will offer them a range of fantastic opportunities, supporting their physical and well-being development.”

This project is being funded by the school through their fundraising activities, in addition to Welsh Government Additional Learning Needs grant funding.
