Construction work due to begin at the site of the new 3-16 Catholic school in Rhyl

Enabling works have been completed by Kier Construction at the site of the new 3-16 Catholic school in Rhyl paving the way for the main build work to start. Pictures below show the progress on site and the hoardings that have been erected between Ysgol Mair and Blessed Edward Jones.

Both the Diocese of Wrexham and the Council will work closely with both schools in order to manage this phase of the project in order to reduce the disruption to pupils as much as practically possible.

The new 3-16 school, for the Diocese of Wrexham, will replace Ysgol Mair/ St. Mary’s primary Catholic school and Blessed Edward Jones Catholic high school. The new school would be an English medium school for 420 full time pupils aged 3-11 years old and 500 pupils aged 11-16.

The project will be funded in partnership by the Council and the Welsh Government, through its 21st Century Schools and Education Capital Programme.
