Modern learning environments can make a real difference to pupils and staff alike. The Welsh Government has shown its commitment to new schools in Pembrokeshire as part of our wider programme improving schools and colleges across Wales.”
Speaking on behalf of staff, pupils and governors Mr Daryl John, Deputy Headteacher, said they were all excited by the prospect of the new building. He said: “Milford Haven School welcomed a visit from First Miniter Eluned Morgan, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Education to mark the initial progress on plans for a new, aspirational school building.
“The development will provide inspirational learning and teaching spaces, offering high quality, ambitious and equitable opportunities for all of our pupils.
