About the New Build
Transforming Wales High School into a sustainable, community-centered educational hub for future generations.
Project Overview
A Landmark Project for Our Community
Wales High School is undergoing the most significant transformation in its history. Through the Future Wales project, the school will be completely rebuilt with energy-efficient, sustainable designs meeting net-zero operational standards.
Funded by the Department for Education via the School Rebuilding Programme, this landmark project will deliver first-class, fit-for-purpose facilities and contribute to an exceptional student experience through high-quality learning environments.
Following extensive community consultation, BAM contractors were selected through a rigorous tender process to bring this vision to life. The new building is expected to be completed in April 2028.
