Planning has been approved for a new ‘state-of-the-art’ Plasd\u0175r primary school – it will be the first to be built in Cardiff’s garden city development<\/h2>\n

Proposed plans for the Plasd\u0175r primary school<\/a> feature two floors to accommodate nursery, reception and infant classrooms on the ground floor, and junior classrooms on the first floor.<\/p>\n

Contemporary architecture and colours<\/h3>\n

Contemporary architecture and colours will feature in the design and the fa\u00e7ade will ensure the building is easily recognisable as a hub within the community.<\/p>\n

The new school is located in Plasd\u0175r\u2019s Groeswen neighbourhood<\/a> to the north of the development near Danescourt and Radyr.<\/p>\n

A total of 420 student places will be created, along with 73 jobs.<\/p>\n

Half Welsh-medium and half English-medium education<\/h3>\n

The school will be dual stream, with one form offering Welsh-medium education and the other offering English with significant use of Welsh – parents will apply for their preferred option during the application process.<\/p>\n

96 part-time nursery places will also be provided – half Welsh-medium and half English-medium with significant use of Welsh<\/p>\n

The school is expected to open and admit its first pupils in September 2023.<\/p>\n

Applications will open in November 2022 for Reception and January 2023 for Nursery. Students in school years 1 and 2 will have the opportunity to apply from April 2023 to start from September 2023.<\/p>\n

‘Designed in keeping with the character of the Groeswen neighbourhood’<\/h3>\n

Wayne Rees, project director of Plasd\u0175r<\/a>, said: “We\u2019re delighted to have received planning approval to begin work on Plasd\u0175r\u2019s first primary school.<\/p>\n

“This is an important milestone in the development of Cardiff\u2019s garden city, and although we\u2019ve experienced some delays due to the pandemic, all being well we\u2019re looking forward to starting work on its delivery this summer.<\/p>\n

“This school will provide much-needed places for children living at Plasd\u0175r, as well as its neighbouring communities.<\/p>\n

“It has been designed in keeping with the character of the Groeswen neighbourhood, and follows the same garden city movement principles of \u201cfresh air, sunlight, breathing room and playing room\u201d that the Plasd\u0175r was inspired by, with plenty of green space and outdoor facilities for children to enjoy.<\/p>\n

“We are now moving to finalise discussions with Cardiff Council, with more detail to be announced on the specification as discussions progress.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re looking forward to working with the Council on this project, but most importantly we are pleased to be creating a school which will give local children access to high quality education on their doorstep for generations to come.”<\/p>\n

Cardiff\u2019s Local Development Plan – Plasd\u0175r is the largest \u201cstrategic site\u201d<\/h3>\n

Plasd\u0175r is identified in Cardiff\u2019s Local Development Plan as the largest \u201cstrategic site\u201d which will deliver new homes<\/a>, district and local shopping centres and community infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Up to 7,000 homes will be built at the site bordering Radyr, Fairwater, Pentrebane and St Fagans and around 40% of Plasd\u0175r will be green space, including managed heritage woodland, parks and play areas.<\/p>\n

A Cardiff Council spokesperson said: “This is an exciting milestone for the Plasd\u0175r development, helping Cardiff to deliver its commitment to providing modern, well-equipped learning environments which help improve the lives of children and young people in the community.<\/p>\n

“Serving the early phases of the Plasd\u0175r development and spanning parts of Creigiau, St Fagans, Radyr, Morganstown and Fairwater, the new school will provide amenities accessible to the community during out of school hours.<\/p>\n

“It will also present new and exciting opportunities in how the Welsh language is taught to pupils in an English-medium school, delivering an innovative variation on the traditional dual-stream primary school provision and supporting aspirations to grow the Welsh language that Cardiff has set out in its bilingual strategy.”<\/p>\n
