Children at Gelli Primary School said a big thank you to Taylor Wimpey this week after the housebuilder answered their call for construction materials.Each year, Gelli Primary School embarks on a school-wide project to learn about a selected career and this year the children chose construction. Over the next few months, the school will learn more about the industry including the materials needed to build new homes, the dangers lurking on building sites, the health and safety measures which must be practiced on developments and what is required to pursue a career in construction.
To help with the project, Taylor Wimpey has supplied signage and materials to create a construction display at the school. The housebuilder has also supplied six high visibility vests and hard hats, for when the children visit Taylor Wimpey’s Llewellyn’s View development later this year, to hear what’s involved in construction from site manager Mark Thomas.
Ms Matthias, class teacher at Gelli Primary School, commented: “We are really grateful to Taylor Wimpey for its generous support in not only answering our request for construction materials but for offering the children an opportunity to visit Llewellyn’s View. We hope the visit will demonstrate how dangerous a real-life construction site can be, especially now the hours of daylight are growing shorter.”
Sara Taylor, regional sales and marketing director, said: “We’re pleased to be able to support the communities in which we are building and help towards such a vital education project. We hope pupils at the school will benefit from the construction materials and this year’s project will get them interested in the house building industry. Our site visit also means they will get the opportunity to meet one of our site managers, who will play a key role in informing children about working in construction and the dangers of playing on building sites.”
Llewellyn’s View is a development of just 61 homes located in the picturesque village of Gilfach Goch. Providing modern living right in the heart of a rural community, the development offers residents stunning views of the Rhondda Valley. As well as being surrounded by the glorious Welsh countryside, Gilfach Goch village has local shops, including a post office, to meet everyday needs whilst the larger towns of Tonyrefail and Pontypridd are nearby.
Transport links are good with the M4 just seven miles away providing easy access to the towns and cities of South Wales. Cardiff is within commutable distance, just 16 miles away.
