More than £4.35m will be invested into developments at three local schools in Bridgend, it was announced this month. Bryntirion Comprehensive School, Coety Primary School, and Pencoed Primary School will all receive a share of the funding that is a part of a wider £9.9m investment into local services in Bridgend.
The funding would look to address the growing need for places at all three of the schools, with an increased demand due to a number of housing developments in each area, a council cabinet meeting heard on June 14. At Bryntirion Comprehensive a £1.8m block of six new classrooms has been proposed by the council in response to planned housing developments which are under construction within the comprehensive school’s catchment area.
