There are plans to build a new multi-million-pound primary school in Merthyr Tydfil to replace a current Gurnos school. The council is consulting with with parents, staff, governors, and pupils about plans for the new school to replace Goetre Primary School which the council said is currently in a poor state of repair.
The new school will be located less than half a mile away from the current site on land below Pen Y Dre High School. It will have a multi-use games area (MUGA), community facilities, and childcare.
It will be jointly funded by the council and Welsh Government’s Sustainable Communities for Learning programme. People are being asked what they would like the council to consider when designing the new school and what community facilities they would like included on the site.
