THE NEW Ysgol Gynradd Carreg Hirfaen school, Cwmann, has opened its doors to pupils for the first time.

Headteacher Aled Jones Evans said that he and the staff were looking forward an exciting future, providing state-of-the-art facilities to around 130 pupils.

The new school will also benefit the local community with an all-weather sports pitch and other recreational opportunities.

Cwmann YFC also made arrangements to hold their annual St David’s Day supper in the school hall.
