Secondary Education in the Future

I have been asked by the Headteacher of Bryncelynnog Comprehensive School to make you aware of a special meeting at 7pm on Tuesday 2nd February in their school canteen. The purpose is to make current and future parents aware of the proposals for Secondary schools in RCT. This could involve the closure of Sixth Forms or even the closure of some secondary schools. The Headteacher is concerned that this may include Bryncelynnog.

She is expecting a large meeting due to the seriousness of the proposals but would welcome parents of primary school children as these are the future of her school.

If you can attend it may be of considerable interest to you. These are early days for the proposals but it is important that you are aware.

If you want further information please contact Bryncelynnog on 203411.

    Did anyone attend the meeting at Bryncelynnog last night? I would like to find out if there are any plans to close Bryncelynnog in the future!

    I went, and while there are no plans to close any specific school mentioned in the RCT proposals, their preferred option is the definite closure of all sixth forms across RCT. They would replace these with three bilingual tertiary colleges. The remaining secondary schools would then be 11-16 or, in their words, "ideally 3-16". This inevitably would result in the closure of primary schools. There are currently around 4000 surplus places in secondary schools which RCT want to address. To do this would mean the closure of at least 1, probably 2 as yet unnamed secondary schools. Y Pant have already set up a parents action group against the proposals and Bryncelynnog are looking to do the same, welcoming support from both existing and future parents. Check out the Y Pant website for more info http://www.sosypant.com/ Hope this is useful to you.
