School Modernisation needs your views
Published: 13/07/2016
天涯社区 is committed to continuing to modernise the County鈥檚
schools to ensure the provision of a high performing education system offering
improved learning provision and increased opportunities to our young residents.
The Council is now reviewing education provision in the following three
schools: Brynford C.P. School, Lixwm C.P. School and Ysgol Rhos Helyg,
Rhosesmor and wants to encourage all interested parties to have their say on
which option of three (which were agreed with the governing bodies of all 3
schools last year) they prefer:
Option 1: Status Quo
Option 2: Area School on One Site
Option 3: Retain Ysgol Rhos Helyg, Rhosesmor and one Area School on one site.
The council is keen to meet and discuss the views of all interested parties and
have already worked closely with pupils of all schools to get their initial
views.
天涯社区鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Education, Councillor Chris
Bithell, said:
鈥淎s a forward-looking and proactive Council, we want to ensure education
provision is both high quality and sustainable. It鈥檚 important that we have
the highest quality school buildings and facilities while providing the right
number of places in the right locations. In these times of economic
uncertainty, we need to recognise that doing nothing means higher pupil teacher
ratios throughout the County as funding reduces. We must also ensure that we
maximise external funding through the Welsh Government鈥檚 21st Century Schools
Programme.鈥�
Informal consultation on the options for the area started on 1 July and will
run until 5 August 2016.
Cllr Bithell continues:
鈥淭he Council wants your views which will be presented, along with all the
Impact Appraisal documents (which are available to view on our website), to the
Council鈥檚 Cabinet. Cabinet will carefully consider your views and
documentation.鈥�
