ymin View Primary School has been honoured at the South Wales construction industry's 'Oscars' – the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Cymru South Wales Building Awards 2008. The annual awards recognise excellence in the construction industry in South Wales and building projects from ten local authorities in South Wales were entered in eight different categories having already been awarded winners in their individual localities. The work at Kymin View Primary School in Monmouth carried out by Willmott Dixon Turner and was Highly Commended by the judges. The school is an excellent example of a building which provides modern teaching facilities. The school has many ecological features such as automatic opening windows, bio-mass boiler and a rain collection system which uses the rainwater to flush the toilets. The school also has community facilities on site which strengthens links with their neighbourhood. Director of Education, Andrew Keep said "We are thrilled that the school has received this award. A child's learning environment can make such a difference. The school has been open since September and we are already seeing positive results."
