In order to minimise disruption to the school day, the majority of the heavy machinery will be delivered during the school’s summer holidays.

Willmott Dixon director Ian Jones said: ‘‘We have worked closely with the Council and our partners to create an exceptional learning environment for the local community. We have a long history of delivering schools across Wales and we will ensure that construction of Ysgol Rhydywaun directly benefits the community; this is through a programme of opportunities including work experience, apprenticeships, mentoring and employment. In addition, we will be working with local partners to provide employment and training opportunities to those people furthest away from the jobs market.’’
