Pupils leave their mark on Nelson Primary School project

Pupils at Nelson Primary School have helped mark an important milestone in the construction of their new school extension by signing part of the building’s steel framework.

The school is currently undergoing a significant development, which will provide modern, high-quality facilities for pupils and staff. The extension is being delivered by contractor Andrew Scott Ltd, who invited the children to leave their mark on the structure before it is enclosed.

Cllr Carol Andrews, Cabinet Member for Education, Communities and Transformation, said: “It is wonderful to see the pupils involved in this project. This new extension will provide a fantastic learning environment for generations to come, and it is lovely that the children have been able to play a part in its creation.”

Mark Bowen, Managing Director at Andrew Scott Ltd, added: “We are delighted to be working with the school and the Council on this project. It is important to us that we engage with the local community, and we were thrilled to welcome the pupils to the site to sign the steelwork.”

The project is being jointly funded by Caerphilly Council and the Welsh Government through the Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme.
