Wrexham Council is pleased to be able to announce that the project to build a replacement school for St. Mary’s Brymbo VA CiW Primary School has taken a big move forward.
In autumn 2024, Wrexham Council’s executive board agreed to the increase in admission number for St. Mary’s primary school in Brymbo with the view to building a replacement school.
Now, following an official tendering process, the successful contractor, Read Construction Holdings Ltd, is in place.
Welsh Government funding has now been approved, along with funding from the Wrexham Parochial Education Foundation, so we are in a position to progress with the first stage of work, subject to planning.
The build will take approximately two years from when planning permission is granted.
Andrew Williams, headteacher at St Mary’s Brymbo VA CiW Primary School, said: “We are delighted to see progress toward the development of the new St Mary’s CiW VA School in Brymbo. This marks an important step in providing modern, high-quality facilities for our pupils and the wider community. We look forward to working closely with Wrexham Council and the appointed contractor as plans move forward.”
Cllr Paul Rogers, local member for Brymbo, said: “The appointment of a contractor to design and build a new school for Brymbo is a huge milestone in this project. Having worked with Council officers on this for some time I am pleased that significant progress has been made. While there is still a way to go, I look forward to seeing local children educated in a fit-for-purpose, modern school.”
Cllr Gary Brown, local member for Brymbo, said: “Having a contractor in place is excellent news as Wrexham Council can now work with them, as well as local stakeholders and the community, to produce the school’s design. Residents will also be able to give us their thoughts once the planning application has been lodged.”
