Kier<\/a> has handed over Treorchy Comprehensive School to Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council<\/a>, as part of\u00a0Wales\u2019 21st-century schools’ programme<\/a><\/h2>\n

Kier carried out a transformation programme which now offers its c.1800 secondary schoolchildren state-of-the-art learning facilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the last four years, Kier regularly updated teachers and schoolchildren on works, including hosting a series of tours and also talks with members of the site team to showcase the careers available within the built environment.<\/p>\n

Kier has carried out a phased refurbishment and redevelopment programme<\/a> which has included the construction of a new three-storey science that includes a lecture theatre, science labs, general classrooms and wider amenities. The main reception, sixth form centre and existing teaching blocks have all been refurbished.<\/p>\n

Space for pupils to thrive<\/h3>\n

Jason Taylor, operations director for Kier Regional Building Western & Wales, said: \u201cWorking collaboratively with Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and members of Treorchy Comprehensive School, we are delighted to have transformed this school to provide first-class educational facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe school looks unrecognisable and its testament to all of the team involved who have shown such skill and dedication throughout this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillor Joy Rosser, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council\u2019s cabinet member for education and inclusion services, said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted that these further improvements have now been completed at Treorchy Comprehensive School, for the benefit of staff and pupils.<\/p>\n

“The school\u2019s new science block, sixth form areas and other improvements were gratefully-received two years ago, as part of the council\u2019s joint 21st<\/sup>\u00a0Century Schools investment with Welsh Government<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe latest work has seen an existing teaching block almost completely rebuilt to deliver a stimulating learning environment that the school can be very proud of \u2013 including a brand new music department.<\/p>\n

“These state-of-the-art facilities are now ready for staff and pupils to enjoy when they return to school and I\u2019d like to thank Kier for their work in delivering this exciting project.\u201d<\/p>\n
