The history
The school was designed by Thomas Roderick, architect of Aberdare, and opened in 1907. Free Jacobethan style with eastern influences to the dome. Symmetrical school building: boys to the left, girls to the right. Each half designed to be self-contained – hence the lack of a main entrance. Dark, coursed and bull-nosed local stone with ‘Red Wilderness’ dressings. Slate roofs. Camber-headed horned sash windows with voussoirs and keystones and is a Grade II Listed Building

The future
The conversion of the former school into 26 flats with 5 new build bungalows will be a spectacular project. The school will be transformed into a mixture of 31 general and wheelchair-adapted flats and bungalows.
It’s an excellent example of repurposing buildings for those most in need.

Our values
As historic building conservation specialists, we immediately recognised the site was of significant importance to the local community and the original school buildings should be preserved at all costs.
The redevelopment of the former school will be challenging yet an amazing opportunity for our organisation, incorporating modern construction methods, a true fabric first approach and an unrivalled passion for the built environment will certainly assist us to deliver this amazing project.
