A Cardiff primary school is set to nearly double in size and split across two new sites in the city, according to new plans. The Court Special School, which supports 42 pupils aged between four and 11 with additional learning needs, is currently situated in Station Road in Llanishen.
However the school could be expanded to 72 places and moved to locations in Llanrumney and Fairwater according to planning applications submitted to Cardiff Council. The site currently occupied by St Mellons Church in Wales Primary School in Dunster Road in Llanrumney as well as land to the south of Fairwater Primary School are being proposed for the expanded school with an equal number of pupils at each site.
St Mellons CIW primary is moving to a brand-new home at the St Edeyrns development in Pontprennau meaning its current site is vacant. If the proposals submitted to the council are approved The Court will take over the site with existing buildings being demolished and a new school with specialist education and sport facilities being built.
