  6. BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE: £4.9m school boost gets underway in Townhill

    A brand-new dining hall and all-weather sports pitch are being built at Townhill Community Primary School, with leaders hailing the project as a “game-changer” for pupils and families.

    The investment — backed largely by the Welsh Government — aims to make sure every child can benefit from free school meals without squeezing into cramped facilities.

    Right now, all pupils are entitled to a free lunch — but the school’s current kitchen and canteen simply can’t keep up.

    Council leader Rob Stewart said:

    “This is making a real and important difference to families throughout Swansea.”

    And it’s not just about food.

    The new hall will double up as a performance and community space — giving parents more room to watch school concerts and opening the doors for wider local use.

    Meanwhile, a brand-new multi-use games area will give pupils — and the wider community — a place to stay active all year round.

    Education boss Robert Smith said:

    “This will be an exciting addition… boosting health and wellbeing during the day and beyond.”

    Contractors Andrew Scott Ltd are leading the build, which is expected to take around a year.

    School leaders say the investment is about more than bricks and mortar.

    Headteacher Peter Owen said:

    “We are delighted the school and community are going to have such a superb resource.”

    And governors say it marks a step towards becoming a true “community school” — with facilities used long after the final bell rings.
