YSGOL LLANGEFNI PRIMARY SCHOOL AND NURSERY - YSGOL Y GRAIG
Construction of a new net zero carbon school extension has begun at Ysgol y Graig , Llangefni .
January saw an official ground breaking ceremony held to mark the start of work on the project .
Upon completion of the new Foundation Phase building , Ysgol y Graig ’ s capacity will increase from 330 to 480 ( along with 68 in the nursery and a care unit for up to 50 preschool age children ). This increased capacity will meet the increased demand for primary education as a result of housing developments in the catchment area .
The cost of the new Foundation Phase unit will be in the region of £ 10.5 million , with funding provided by the Isle of Anglesey County Council and Welsh Government .
Anglesey ’ s Education and Welsh Language Portfolio Holder , Councillor Ieuan Williams , said : “ It ’ s fantastic to see the start of work to build the new Foundation Phase unit at Ysgol y Graig .”
He added : “ Anglesey ’ s School Modernisation Programme began in 2012 . This project will support the programme ’ s aim of creating the best possible educational environment for our children , teachers and head-teachers to succeed and promote high standards .”
After the new Foundation Phase unit is open , its Net Zero Carbon design will mean that it doesn ’ t use more energy than it generates .
