'Challenging' plans for £17m school pass planning hurdle
Glamorgan Gazette
|May 29, 2025
PLANS for a major new school development have been approved for tender.
The long-term plans are set to provide a replacement for Mynydd Cynffig Primary School in the village of Kenfig Hill, near Bridgend.
If given the go-ahead, they would see the demolition of the current school, as well as the neighbouring Air Training Corps facility and Pwllgath allotment gardens.
Developers say these would be cleared to make way for a new school, with an estimated cost of £17m, which includes 420 primary and 75 nursery places.
It would also include all-weather sports pitches, floodlighting and solar panels, with play areas and open space.
