Members of the local community are invited to have a look around the new Ysgol yr Hendre in Caernarfon.
An open day will be held on Saturday, 21 April between 11am and 2pm. Teaching staff and members of the board of governors will be on-hand to show people around and to talk about some of the school’s modern facilities and unique features.
The school opened its doors for the first time on 12 March and was the culmination of £9.3 million of investment in Caernarfon and many months work by Gwynedd Council and its partners in the Welsh Government and Wynne Construction.
Ysgol yr Hendre promises to provide the town’s children with the most modern learning resources and includes community facilities which can be used as a base for adult education, health and social welfare initiatives as well as cultural and sporting activities.
Arwel Jones, head teacher at Ysgol yr Hendre, said: “The last couple of months have been very exciting in our school’s history and the children, their families and the wider community have been enthusiastic and supportive about the new school.
“Saturday will be a chance for anyone who is interested to call by and have a look around the striking building and its state of the art facilities. Hendre is the largest primary school in Gwynedd with room for 450 children and will also be used by the wider community for all sorts of events and activities.
“I am sure people will be keen to learn about how we can lay claim to being one of the greenest schools in Wales, if not the UK, with our innovative use of energy and resources.
“I look forward to welcoming the local community to our new school on Saturday.”
