Construction company Wynne Construction has secured a contract worth £4m to construct a new primary school in Cricieth, the UK.
The new school, named Ysgol Treferthyr, will be constructed on a greenfield site on the western approach to the Gwynedd town, around 500m from its current location.

Currently, it is using a school, which was constructed in the 19th century with a 1970s prefabricated extension in the centre of town, having a capacity for 119 primary pupils aged from three to 11.
Upon completion, the new Ysgol Treferthyr will have a capacity for approximately 150 pupils and a nursery.
It will feature six classrooms with external access, a hall, kitchen and a multipurpose room, all on one floor for ease of access.
Outside, there will also be a playground, a multi-use games area and a grass playing field.
