Padre Pio RC primary school, Pontypool
Located on the south side of Conway Road. The school is named after Saint Pio of Pietrelcina (1887– 1968), an Italian Capuchin priest who was canonised by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
The school opened in September 2008, with a transfer of pupils from the now-closed Catholic primary schools of St Alban and St Francis. The £3½ million project was financed jointly by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff, the Welsh Assembly Government and Torfaen Council.
The school has many modern features such as interactive whiteboards in every classroom and a high definition video conferencing unit. There is an outdoor sports playing field, a facility absent from the two previous schools. Environmentally 'green' features include the collection of rain water to flush toilets and a biomass boiler to heat the building.
