Idris Davies School 3-18

Place Shaping is about capturing the scale of investment that has taken place across Caerphilly County Borough.

But it is equally important to demonstrate what this investment means to local communities. 

We visit the new £8.4 million Idris Davies School 3-18 – to give you an understanding of the benefits the facility has given to the Upper Rhymney area.

Ystrad Mynach Primary School

Ysgol Cwm Gwyddon

An investment of £9.5 million has been committed to relocate and build a state of the art school for Ysgol Cwm Gwyddon. This project will almost double the capacity of the current school and offer various other opportunities for the local community to utilise the facility.

We spoke to staff and pupils at the current school on how this investment will benefit a future generation of learners.
