Expansion plans at Coety Primary School have been given the go-ahead by Bridgend County Borough Council, following the outcome of a statutory notice.

This will result in the school’s capacity increasing from 420 to 525 places for pupils aged between 4 and 11-years-old.

An options appraisal previously identified the need to increase the number of places at the school and a two-storey, four-classroom extension was found to be the preferred option. All new classrooms will meet net zero carbon targets in relation to both construction and operation.

There will also be an opportunity to increase nursery provision by an additional 12 full-time-equivalent places. This means there will be 75 full-time places for pupils aged 3-4 years and a further 9 part-time places to bring the total number to 84.
