Council Statement following Cabinet Meeting, May 21st
Following Cabinet in April it became clear that there were some concerns about the Council potentially capturing information on the school choices made only by those parents choosing a Welsh Medium Education.
To allay those concerns, the Cabinet today determined to explore collecting the information on the school choices made by all parents, resolving as follows;
That the Director of Education be tasked with exploring how the demand for school places can be better captured. In particular this work should focus on understanding the weight parents give to the different choice considerations, including: language preference; learning outcomes; quality of facilities; transport provision; ALN provision, etc.
As the Council continues to consider proposals to modernise the school estate we believe it’s important we have the best possible information available to ensure we make informed decisions in the best interests of pupils and parents.
