Ysgol Robert Owen

Following a two-year build, learners and staff at Ysgol Robert Owen (formerly Ysgol Cedewain) moved into their new state-of-the-art building in September 2024.

Completion of this much needed project is an important milestone in implementing the Council's Strategy for Transforming Education in Powys and has provided much improved facilities for the county's most vulnerable pupils, including a hydrotherapy pool, sensory and physiotherapy rooms, garden and a community café.

Work is continuing on Phase 2 of the development, which will provide sports facilities, additional parking and other outdoor areas on the land where the school's former buildings were located. Some of these facilities will be shared with Maesyrhandir C.P. School, which is located next to Ysgol Robert Owen.

The project has been delivered by Wynne Construction on behalf of the Council and funded by the Welsh Government's Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme and Powys County Council.
