Pencoedtre High School

Pencoedtre High School, formerly called the Bryn Hafren Comprehensive School, is located in Merthyr Dyfan on the outskirts of the town of Barry near Cardiff in Wales. It was opened in 1971. Bryn Hafren Comprehensive School was an 11-19 girls' comprehensive school for approximately 1,300 students.

Pencoedtre High School is a large new build high school in Barry, Wales. When this busy school required a brand-new world class flooring surface for its main indoor sports hall, they simply wanted only the best! HLM Architects would specify 700m2 of Taraflex® vinyl sports flooring in ‘Maple’, from international flooring specialists Gerflor. A high-profile project of this nature required an Olympic pedigree solution, Taraflex was the perfect for this prestigious and iconic project.

"A key part of the brief was to provide extended hours activities for pupils, and community hire. The sports hall would be one of the key spaces used here, so would need to support multiple functions and near-constant use.”

Angela Sheppard Part II Architectural Assistant at HLM Architects
