Minutes:

Cabinet considered authorising a public consultation on proposals to rationalise English-medium primary school places in the Llanrumney area, including a proposal to close Glan-yr-Afon Primary school. Cabinet was advised that demand for the school was low with the majority of children from the catchment area choosing to attend alternative school. The school was operating with a surplus of 48% of places and this had a significant impact upon the funding available for the school and there was a significant budget deficit. It was reported that the quality of accommodation and education available at other schools in the area was of a higher standard with the potential for demand for places to be met at those schools.
