‘Final Peer Review for the Constructing Excellence in Wales Demonstration Programme’

There is a growing demand for Welsh medium education in Carmarthenshire as in other parts of Wales. The existing Ffwrnes school, located on an adjacent site, is oversubscribed and is housed in a small Victorian school with the majority of pupils educated in mobile classrooms. The new school will address the current need and predicted future demands. The proposed building has already achieved BREEAM Outstanding certification for its Design Stage and will be the first Primary School in Wales to be built to BREEAM Outstanding standards on completion later this year.

The school, which will provide two-form entry for 420 children, is being built by WRW Construction as part Carmarthenshire County Councils previous capital works framework which focused on procuring award winning projects as art of the Council’s Modernising Education Programme.

The project addresses a number of social and economic areas with the key demonstration theme being the environmental performance of the building and its contribution to lowering whole life costs.  Various measures are included in the design to reduce energy demand, encourage eco-friendly behaviour and responsible use. Rainwater harvesting, external planting areas, renewable energy sources and other features are included.

The project is participating in the Constructing Excellence in Wales Demonstration Programme for Wales which is designed to promote Best Practice and innovation in construction. By attending this event you will learn from the project team of the challenges faced in constructing such a facility. You will also have opportunities to participate in the discussion and provide your own ‘review’ or assessment of the project via a simple scoring mechanism. This provides a valuable stage in the process of a project becoming a ‘demonstration’.

Adolygiad Cymheiriaid Terfynol ar gyfer Rhaglen Dangos Rhagoriaeth CEW

Mae galw cynyddol am addysg drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg yn Sir Gaerfyrddin, fel mewn rhannau eraill o Gymru. Yn ysgol bresennol Ffwrnes, ar safle gerllaw’r ysgol newydd, mae mwy o alw nag sydd o le. Ac mae’r disgyblion yn derbyn eu haddysg mewn adeilad Fictorianaidd bach, gyda’r mwyafrif mewn cabannau dros dro. Bydd yr ysgol newydd yn diwallu’r galw presennol ac yn ddigon mawr i dderbyn niferoedd disgwyliedig y dyfodol. Eisoes mae’r adeilad arfaethedig wedi derbyn tystysgrif BREEAM Rhagorol am ei Gyfnod Dylunio. Hon fydd yr ysgol gynradd gyntaf yng Nghymru i gael ei hadeiladu i safonau BREEAM Rhagorol pan orffennir ei chodi yn ddiweddarach eleni.

Bydd lle yn yr ysgol newydd i ddau ddosbarth y flwyddyn a 420 o blant. Yr adeiladwyr yw WRW Construction, sy’n gwneud y gwaith fel rhan o fframwaith gwaith cyfalaf blaenorol Cyngor Sir Gâr lle bu’r ffocws ar gaffael prosiectau blaengar fel rhan o Raglen Moderneiddio Addysg y Cyngor.

Mae’r prosiect yn cyffwrdd â nifer o feysydd cymdeithasol ac economaidd. Y thema allweddol yw perfformiad amgylcheddol yr adeilad a’i gyfraniad tuag at leihau’r costau oes gyfan. Ymgorfforwyd sawl mesur yn y dyluniad i leihau’r galw am ynni, annog ymddygiad eco gyfeillgar a hyrwyddo defnydd cyfrifol. Mae’r mesurau hyn yn cynnwys cronni dŵr glaw, plannu ardaloedd allanol a defnyddio ffynonellau ynni adnewyddadwy.

Cafodd y prosiect ei gynnwys yn Rhaglen Dangos Rhagoriaeth CEW, sy’n ceisio hyrwyddo’r arferion adeiladu gorau. Cewch gyfle yn y cyfarfod i ddysgu oddi wrth dîm y prosiect am yr heriau a gawsant wrth adeiladu’r ysgol. Bydd cyfle hefyd i gyfrannu at y drafodaeth ac asesu llwyddiant y prosiect drosoch eich hun gan ddilyn trefn sgorio syml. Mae hyn yn gam gwerthfawr yn y broses o droi cynllun yn “brosiect dangos ragoriaeth”.

Sut i archebu lle: Gyrrwch ebost at CEWales Digwyddiadau gan nodi eich manylion cyswllt yn llawn ac enwi pawb sy’n dymuno mynychu. Gallwch newid eich cynrychiolydd ar unrhyw adeg.

Bydd diffyg presenoldeb gan unrhyw aelod o'r clwb cofrestredig yn cael ei godi £30 oni bai eich bod wedi dweud wrthym tri diwrnod gwaith cyn y digwyddiad i fod i ddigwydd.
