Denbighshire has launched a consultation on the future of three primary schools in the Edeyrnion area.
Proposal 1 – An area school for Cynwyd and Llandrillo
The proposal, if progressed, would see Ysgol Llandrillo and Ysgol Maes Hyfryd close on the 31 August 2012. A new area school would then open on 1 September, 2012 using the existing two school sites initially before moving to a single site in Cynwyd subject to capital funding.
Public consultation meetings on this proposal have been arranged on the following dates:
- Tuesday 21 June 2011 19:30 – 21:00 at Llandrillo Community Hall
- Monday 27 June 2011 18:30 – 20:00 at Ysgol Maes Hyfryd
Proposal 2 – To close Ysgol Glyndyfrdwy and transfer pupils to Ysgol Y Gwernant, Llangollen subject to parental preference
The proposal, if progressed, would see Ysgol Glyndyfrdwy close on the 31 August 2012 and pupils transfer to Ysgol Y Gwernant, Llangollen subject to parental preference.
A public consultation meeting on this proposal has been arranged on the following date:
Wednesday 29 June 2011 18:30 – 20:00 at Glyndyfrdwy Community Hall
The consultation period for both proposals runs from the 7 June, 2011 to 20 July, 2011 inclusive. The authority is consulting with pupils, parents, governors, staff and the local communities of impacted schools, neighbouring schools, relevant secondary schools, neighbouring authorities, local councillors, constituency MP’s and AM’s, local community councils and other interested stakeholders including the Welsh Language Board and Cymdeithas Yr Iaith.
All comments must be received by the 20 July, 2011, which is the last day of the consultation.
The findings of the consultation exercise will be considered further by Denbighshire’s Cabinet in September 2011 who will then decide whether to proceed further with the proposals.
