Work has commenced on the construction of a new Hydrotherapy Pool at Ysgol Tir Morfa in Rhyl.
The new facility will be equipped with a 19ft specialised Hydrotherapy Pool situated within the school grounds in a standalone building, which is also currently in construction. The new pool will be used by the pupils for hydrotherapy sessions.
The Council has worked closely with the school to develop the project to this stage, with the first phase now underway. This project was designed by the Council’s in-house architecture team.
The completion of these works will be a landmark first for a Denbighshire school and will provide the school and its pupils with access to an invaluable resource.
Mold-based Bryn Build Ltd is the main contractor appointed to carry out the works, which are due to be completed by Autumn 2025.
Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Education, Children and Families said:
“The start of these works signifies a big step in the kind of developments within schools that we are undertaking here in Denbighshire, with this exciting new project being the first of its kind in the County.
This new facility will provide pupils with a modern, high-quality offering, which will be specifically designed and tailored to their needs. I am pleased to see the construction phase has now begun, which has seen a lot of background work being undertaken to get to this stage.”
Susan Roberts, Headteacher at Ysgol Tir Morfa said:
“We are really excited to see the long-awaited build of our Hydrotherapy Pool. Having access to this wonderful hydrotherapy facility will offer our pupils a range of excellent additional benefits, supporting their physical and well-being development.
We really appreciate the support from families and the local community with all the numerous fundraising events that have enabled us to further develop provision at our wonderful school.”
