New community cabin opens at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog

The community eco cabin build at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog is now complete, with the building now fully operational and in use.

Funded through the Community Focused Schools initiative by Welsh Government, the cabin build started earlier in the year, and features a kitchen area, accessible toilet and a spacious main space which can be used by both the school and local community.

The cabin features a 60 square metre footprint and is a space that supports family engagement, collaboration with other services and the needs of the school community.  

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.

Laura Martin, Head Teacher at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog said:

“We are absolutely thrilled that the community cabin is open and bustling with activity, this is a vital resource that bridges the gap between our school and the wider community and we are delighted with the outcome.

We would like to extend our thanks to the Welsh Government and Denbighshire County Council for the funding allocation. We now have a dedicated, sustainable space where families can connect, services can collaborate, and our pupils can use for years to come.”

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

“I am glad to see that this new project is now complete, it will be a brilliant asset for both the school and the community.

This new cabin at Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog not only benefits the school and the pupils, but also the community, bringing with it a new and exciting space to utilise.

Replacing an older, outdated building, this new cabin project offers a spacious and modern new asset for the school.”
