Ysgol y Castell has been provided with a state-of-the-art replacement building and will provide primary education for 270 primary school children and 30 nursery pupils, with an additional space to provide Early Years care.
The delivery of the investment is being completed over 2 phases.
Phase one was completed in November 2022, as pupils and staff occupied the new, 21st-century, school building. The facilities will be of great benefit to the school and the wider community.

The second phase of the works is due for completion in Summer 2023 and will include the demolition of the former school building, to create playing fields, a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) and space and provisions for community use.
The new facility was delivered at a cost of £7.4 million and was joint funded by the Welsh Government, through its Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme, and by Carmarthenshire County Council’s Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.
The construction of the new school was undertaken by Lloyd & Gravell Ltd.
