Community cabin build nearing completion at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog

The community cabin build at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog is nearing completion, with the main structure now in place and wall insulation installed.

Cabin Exterior

Funded through the community focused school initiative by Welsh Government, the cabin build started earlier in the year, and has since seen the frame, roof, windows and doors installed.

The cabin, which has a 60 square metre footprint, will feature a kitchen area and an accessible toilet, in addition to the main space. The outdoor space to the side of the cabin will also be revamped, and will be able to be utilized by pupils.

The building creates a space that supports family engagement, collaboration with other services and the need of the school community.

Cladding will be added to the roof as part of the next steps for the project, as well as the work to connect and install the water and electric provision.

Cabin Interior

As well as the cabin build, solar panels will be installed on the roof of the main school building, reducing the carbon impact from this project.

The project is set to finish in the Spring.

Laura Martin, Head Teacher at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog said:

"We are thrilled with the progress that has been made so far and cannot wait for completion. This building will be a fantastic asset to Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog, ensuring that both the school and community can use it for many years to come.

We are very grateful to Denbighshire County Council for their ongoing support with this project."

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

“This project at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog will be a massive asset to the school and community alike.

Replacing an older, outdated building, this new cabin will be completed in the Spring and will be able to be used by the school this academic year.”
