With the Strategic Outline Case now approved by Welsh Government for the project, and the necessary approvals needed from Denbighshire County Council’s Cabinet, the design stage will now commence, which will inform the overall look of the refurbishment work.

Ysgol Pendref was established in 2012 following the amalgamation of two neighbouring schools. The school has operated since 2012 from two separate buildings on one site, with this new project aiming to consolidate all teaching and learning into a single building.

In the summer of 2025, a Design and Construction Agent was appointed to support the development of the Ysgol Pendref project, and manage the procurement of a contractor to lead on the design and build for the extension and refurbishment of the current site. Approval to progress the procurement was provided by Cabinet in September 2025.

The total agreed project cost is presently £11.74 million for the Ysgol Pendref project.

Geraint Davies, Head of Education at Denbighshire County Council said:

“This project will bring a significant investment to upper Denbigh, bringing support families and children within their community.

This next step is step closer to bringing new, high quality building and education facilities for the pupils at Ysgol Pendref.”

Nicola Griffiths, Headteacher at Ysgol Pendref said:

“This next phase in the project is a step closer to bringing a new, high-quality building and education facilities for the pupils at Ysgol Pendref.

I’m looking forward to seeing the designs being further developed for the project.”
