TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF PALALWYF AVENUE ENTRANCE
As you will be aware, building works are ongoing at Pontyclun Primary School to install temporary classrooms to ensure the continuity of education provision during the construction of the new school.
As part of these works, one temporary classroom block has been installed on site and will be open to pupils from the 14th of March.
Before the second temporary classroom block can be installed in the former location of the year 2 cabins, the Contractor needs to undertake intensive works to address the ground conditions in this area including the removal of a considerable amount of soil from the site. These works will require more regular construction vehicle movements at the Palalwyf Avenue entrance to the school and the use of heavy machinery in this area. Therefore, we have taken a joint decision with the Contractor to close the Palalwyf Avenue entrance for a provisional period of four-weeks, from Monday 6th of March.
During this period, pupils, parents/carers, staff, and visitors accessing the school site will need to use one of the alternative site entrances.
1. Maesyfelin entrance
2. The pedestrian entrance at the top of the junior yard
3. A temporary entrance gate off the back lane running parallel to Palalwyf Ave to the side of the new demountable. This entrance will be manned throughout the school day by a gate person so parents/ carers needing to access the school through the school day will need to enter the school via this entrance.
CAN PARENTS/CARERS PLEASE NOT USE THE STAFF CARPARK TO DROP/ COLLECT PUPILS AT THE START OR END OF THE SCHOOL DAY.
In accordance with Planning Conditions, there will be no construction vehicle movements between 07:45 - 09:15 and 15:00 - 16:00.
We are in daily contact with the Contractor and the Council to ensure the safety of our pupils, staff, and visitors,
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
