DISCUSSION

 

The report was submitted, noting that the Cabinet, on 5 November, had resolved to hold a statutory consultation period in accordance with the Schools Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act on the proposal to close Ysgol Llanaelhaearn.  It was noted that the statutory period had now ended and that there were no objections to the proposal.  It was also noted that the department, as a result, believed that closing the school was the appropriate option. Gratitude was expressed to the community, the governors and parents for the mature and appropriate discussions held, emphasising that it had been a difficult discussion at times. 

 

The Local Member noted that he was very saddened that the school was closing, despite its long and bright history. He expressed that people had to use their local schools if they wanted them to remain open, and he thanked the staff for all their work.
