Ystradgynlais & DistrictHistory and HeritageMaesydderwen School TodayThank You to Mrs S Speedy, Headteacher for giving Val Trevallion permission to take these photographs after school hours in June 2015, so that we are able to show Maesydderwen School as it is today, after the major rebuild.
Ysgol Maesydderwen View across the carpark to the entrance to Maesydderwen School. Note, the entrance to the site from Heol Ynyscedwyn, opposite the Ironworks is not now the public access. The drive-in access is now from off Wind Road,Glanrhyd, via the leisure centre. The main entrance to Maesydderwen School, with the statue before it. The theme of the sculpture is the school motto: Gorau arf, arf dysg, which roughly means 'Knowledge is the best weapon'. Built of red clay, the sculpture was dried for 6 weeks and then fired to get the coal-black colour and the strength to last for centuries.
The statue was constructed by Maesydderwen pupils under the guidance of Rebecca Buck of Osprey Studios, with the full co-operation and use of the school's Art department and its facilities. A view of the new building from the side. Among the classrooms that it houses are
View across the tennis courts ⁄ ball game courts, towards the Varteg hill in the background. A seating area around the back of the new building, showing the covered corridor that links it to some of the other buildings. This photograph shows how the old buildings of Maesydderwen are incorporated into the new structure. The main hallway in the new building. The plaque commemorates the official opening of the new block at Maesydderwen, 8 months or so after it first entered use in the new school year, 2012-2013.
