Proposal for the discontinuation of Ysgol Clydau
Pembrokeshire County Council has a statutory duty to secure sufficient and suitable school places in its area and to determine whether it is making the best use of the resources and facilities to deliver the opportunities that children deserve.
At its meeting on 8th May 2025, Pembrokeshire County Council considered a report of the School Modernisation Working Group which outlines the findings of a review of education provision in the Preseli area. In particular, the review considered the extent of surplus places in the area, set against a significant decline in the pupil population. The report outlined the current position in relation to Ysgol Clydau, including the cost of primary school places, and concluded with a recommendation. It also recognised Ysgol Clydau being defined as a ‘Rural’ school in the context of the ‘Presumption against the closure of rural schools’ within Welsh Government’s School Organisation Code with Council resolving to consider/scrutinise the content of the Proposal Paper as part of its decision-making process. The decision of Council was as follows:
-
That the Director of Education be authorised to commence statutory consultation on the proposal to discontinue Ysgol Clydau
The subsequent statutory consultation was undertaken during the period 9 December 2025 to 23 January 2026.
Statutory Notice
Publication of Statutory Notice relating to the Discontinuation of Ysgol Clydau.
Following the decision of the County Council at its meeting on 5th March 2026 to proceed with the proposal to discontinue Ysgol Clydau, the Authority has now published the Statutory Notice.
