LLANDRINDOD Wells parents of pupils at Ysgol Calon Cymru are being reminded to have their say over the future plans for the school.

Ysgol Calon Cymru opened in September 2018, following the merger of Llandrindod High School and Builth Wells High School. The school provides secondary education for pupils aged 11-18 across two campuses in both towns.

The school, however, is on an improvement journey, according to the county council. Powys County Vouncil say that while a great deal of progress has been made, it has become clear that the school’s two sited model is restricting its ability to continue to grow and develop.

In 2020, the council developed a business case which looked at future options for Ysgol Calon Cymru. This identified the following possible plan: A new 11-18 English-medium campus in Llandrindod and a remodelled 4-18 Welsh-medium all-through campus in Builth.

The council wants to know what people think about the possible plan before it starts the legal process that would need to be followed to make these changes.

The main focus of this exercise is on the future plans for Ysgol Calon Cymru, however some other schools could also be impacted, in particular Builth Wells Primary School.

You can let the local authority know your views on the possible plan by completing a questionnaire, click on this link https://www.haveyoursaypowys.wales/ysgol-calon-cymru. You can also send your views via email to school.organisation@powys.gov.uk or to the transforming education team, Powys County Council, County Hall, Llandrindod Wells, Powys, LD1 LG.

Questionnaires must be returned by January 26, 2022.
