Sennybridge Drop-In Event

29 September 2025

Exciting plans to construct a new replacement primary school at Sennybridge can be seen at a drop-in event at the school next week, the county council has said.

Powys County Council is to build a new 120-pupil replacement school for Sennybridge as part of its Transforming Education programme.

This project will see the construction of a replacement 120 pupil Primary School including community use together with demolition of existing building and external works. The school will be designed to achieve Net Zero Carbon in operation, meet Welsh Government embodied carbon targets and achieve BREEAM Excellent.

The new school will include:

• Early Years
• Reception classroom
• Key Stage 1 & 2 classrooms
• School Hall
• Community room
• Library
• New MUGA
• Soft & hard play areas

As part of the new school project the contractor is having an open evening (8^th October 5-7pm) at the school for members of the public to view the proposals as they have been submitted for pre-planning application consultation (PAC).

The planning PAC is being submitted to the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority on 6^th October, and this event is to show parents and members of the public what is being submitted.

This session will provide an opportunity to view and discuss the plans for the new school building. The event will be open to the whole school community as well as the public.

Cllr Pete Roberts, Cabinet Member for a Learning Powys, said: "The new building for Sennybridge will provide modern facilities for our pupils and teaching staff and help them to deliver an enjoyable and fulfilling education experience for everyone.

"These drop-in events provide a great opportunity for everyone in the school community and members of the public to view these exciting plans, which will transform education for learners in Powys."
