Carl Sargeant AM delighted at announcement for New School In Flintshire
Over 4.5 million pounds has been secured for the new purpose built school replacing the old Dee Road Infants and Custom House Lane Schools in Connahs Quay.
Schools and colleges in Wales need to be places that inspire learners of all ages. They need to be places that can accommodate 21st century technology; be adapted to meet the changing needs of learners in a rapidly developing knowledge economy whilst making a significant contribution in tackling climate change.
Flintshire County Council failed to bid in the first round of Capital Investment fund but with assistance from the Welsh Assembly they have been successful this time.
Carl Sargeant AM said " I am pleased that our education facilities will be brought into the 21st Century. This is only the start of the programme and will be watching carefully to see how our children will benefit from this Assembly Funding. I must also pay tribute to The Chair of Governors Cllr Bernie Attridge in the way he has lobbied both myself and the Minister for Education to recognise the need for investment in our children.
Chair of Governors - Cllr Bernie Attridge said " This announcement will give our children brand new technologies and educational experiences. I am really pleased for the schools involved, early educational opportunity gives the very best of life chances and this is what will be delivered. I thank my colleagues for their support and Carl Sargeant AM for taking our request forward.
