Greenhill School in Tenby is undergoing a facelift thanks to a £5.5 million investment project being carried out by Swansea-based construction company Dawnus. Dawnus has been appointed by Pembrokeshire County Council to construct a brand new extension to the current school building. The new extension will provide additional classrooms for the technology department and a dedicated centre for the special educational needs section. The school is also set to benefit from additional refurbishment works that will improve classroom facilities and create storage facilities, toilets, offices and a reception area. Improved parking facilities and the construction of new planted areas will complete Greenhill School's makeover. The project also includes steps towards protecting pupils' safety with the installation of a pedestrian safety fence to keep pupils away from any traffic within the school grounds. Works to the school will continue until September 2007, with Dawnus carrying out the work while the school remains fully operational. Mr. Chris Noble, headteacher at Greenhill School, said: "It was really important that the school could remain fully operational during the construction and thanks to Dawnus' consideration, so far we have been able to carry on with minimal disruption. "The new technology block and refurbished classrooms will be a fantastic addition to the school and having their own dedicated section will benefit our special educational needs pupils no end." Tom Mainwaring, Dawnus' project manager at Greenhill School, said: "We are working with Greenhill School and Pembrokeshire County Council to ensure that the project, which is registered with the Considerate Constructor Scheme, is carried out with as little disruption as possible. "The investment will give the school a real facelift, providing pupils and teachers with improved facilities, and we would like to thank teachers, pupils and parents for their co-operation whilst we carry out the work."
