Cabinet approves design and build contract for Denbigh High School refurbishment project
Denbighshire County Council’s Cabinet has today (May 26th) approved the award of the contract to design, and subsequently deliver, the construction elements of the Denbigh High School refurbishment project to Wynne Construction.
In late 2025, the Cabinet gave their approval to commence the procurement process for the design and build contract for the refurbishment of Denbigh High School.
They also gave their approval to submit the Strategic Outline Business Case to the Welsh Government, which was approved in March of this year.
This project forms part of the Council’s outline plan for the Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.

The next steps will see engagement with the school community and pupils, who will play their part to help develop the design.
The total agreed project allocation at this stage for the Denbigh High project is currently £19.8 million.
The Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme, funded by the Welsh Government, is funding 65% of this project, with the remaining 35% funded by the Council. In addition, further funding is being provided by Welsh Government for carbon net zero improvements.
Glen Williams, Headteacher at Denbigh High School said:
“This is excellent news, and is such an exciting time for Denbigh High School and the community it serves.
I am looking forward to working with the local authority, designers, and contractors to make sure that the modernisation of the school helps provide learners with an environment that will further support their progress and options in the future.”
Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Education, Children and Families said:
“I am glad to see that this project has taken the next necessary step. With a design and construction contract now in place, we are one step closer to starting work on this exciting development.
Modernising and improving the facilities at this site will improve capacity at the school, and will help to provide the highest quality education for pupils in the Denbigh area for generations to come.”
