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 8 May 2025, Pembrokeshire County Council considered a report of the School Modernisation Working Group which outlined the findings of a review of education provision in the Preseli area. In particular the review considered the extent of surplus school 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
This document fulfils part of the County Council’s responsibility under the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 to consult with appropriate stakeholders and to explain the Council’s proposal to discontinue Ysgol Clydau. This document offers an opportunity for consultees to put forward any comments, observations or alternative proposals they wish to be considered, as well as explaining why other options considered are not the preferred option.
Consultation on this proposal will comply with the requirements of the School Organisation Code. Consequently, the main purpose of this document is to provide information and to gather the views of identified stakeholders. For further information on the statutory process, see Section 7.
