A multi-million pound campus development which will see a Cowbridge school double in size has been given the go-ahead. Vale of Glamorgan Council revealed that plans for the new Ysgol Iolo Morganwg primary school building are expected to be completed by September 2025.
Earmarked for land located on the new Clare Gardens residential development to the north west of Darren Farm, the new school will see the number of places offered to pupils go from 210 to 420. Nursery places will also increase from 66 places to 96.
The council's cabinet member for education, arts and the Welsh language, Cllr Rhiannon Birch, said: "It is not possible to expand Ysgol Iolo Morganwg's current premises. The 19th century building cannot support a modern learning environment and limited outdoor space restricts the school's capabilities.
