Rogiet is highest BREEAM-rated school in Wales

Posted on December 3, 2009

White Design, working with Willmott Dixon construction, has recently completed a new school which has scored 78.18% in the BREEAM Excellent rating - the highest achievement in Wales to date.  Rogiet Primary School-Ysgol Gynradd Rogiet, commissioned by Monmouthshire County Council, is a 210-place school with community facilities. At the open day on Friday 6 November 2009, head teacher Kathryn Evans said:

“So much credit and thanks must go to the building designers, White Design, and Willmott Dixon Construction team. They really have thought of every opportunity to make this a state of the art learning environment for the pupils ..... we are privileged to have such a fantastic facility in which to learn”.

The school is aiming to gain a green flag in the Eco-School programme, having already won a silver award in 2008. The Eco-committee raised £1000 earlier this year to create a sensory garden for the new site.
