Bouygues UK, the company building the new Pencoedtre High School building has released drone footage showing the substantial progress made.

The company has been on site since spring last year constructing the £34.7m new state of the art, three-storey school building.

The build also includes a four-court sports hall, all-weather hockey floodlit pitch and grass rugby and football pitches, as well as extra performance spaces for theatre and dance.

Planning permission for the new school was granted in December 2019 and will provide more space and better sporting facilities for the staff and around 1,100 pupils.

The project is part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council and Welsh Government's 21st century school's investment programme, which is also delivering a new building for Whitmore High School and expansion for Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg.
