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

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.
