DISCUSSION
This positive report was submitted that considered the
responses received to the statutory consultation to increase the capacity of
Ysgol Chwilog
to 95, an increase of over 25%. It was noted that this was finance from the
Welsh language capital grant and was an attempt to try and address some of the
requirements of those communities with over 70% of the population who can speak
Welsh.
It was stated
that there was clear support to be seen when considering the response to the
consultation and the children of the area also believed that it will be a
positive step for Ysgol Chwilog.
The
report indicated
the Education Department's desire to support the Welsh language for all the
County's children and specifically to strengthen the language in the Chwilog
area.
Apart from the support shown it was noted that a few
comments had been received regarding
the School
hall and the staff room that indicates
that some had used the consultation as an opportunity to convey other messages.
There were no further observations only support from
the Cabinet.
