    A report on Aberdare Community School Ynys Road Ynys Aberdare CF44 7RP Date of inspection: March 2018 by Estyn, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate for Education and Training in Wales A report on Aberdare Community School March 2018 About Aberdare Community School Aberdare Community School is an English-medium 11-18 school maintained by Rhondda Cynon Taf local authority. There are currently 1,133 pupils on roll, including 154 in the sixth form. Aberdare Community School was opened in September 2014 as a result of the closure of Aberdare Girls' School, Aberdare High School, and Blaengwawr Comprehensive School. These schools were inspected in 2011 or earlier. Around 29% of the pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average of 17.0%. Over 39% of pupils live in the 20% most deprived areas in Wales. Most pupils speak English as their first language and come from a white, British background. The percentage of pupils with special educational needs is around 24%. This is higher than the Welsh average of 21.5%. The percentage of pupils who have a statement of special educational need is 2% which is the average for Wales. There are two support classes at the school, with 20 pupils attending at present. The classes are for learners with communication and autistic spectrum disorders. The current headteacher took up post in April 2017. The senior leadership team consists of the headteacher and one deputy headteacher, five assistant headteachers, a director of pupil progress and an associate senior leader.

  • Planning & Development Committee 3 December 2020
    PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 3 DECEMBER 2020 REPORT OF: DIRECTOR PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENT PURPOSE OF THE REPORT Members are asked to determine the planning application outlined below: APPLICATION NO: 20/0464/10 (GW) APPLICANT: WDL Homes Ltd DEVELOPMENT: Proposed residential development and associated works. LOCATION: LAND AT COLEG Y CYMOEDD, CWMDARE ROAD, ABERDARE DATE REGISTERED: 09/11/2020 ELECTORAL DIVISION: Aberdare West/Llwydcoed RECOMMENDATION: REFUSE REASONS: The development site is outside the settlement boundary identified in the Rhondda Cynon Taf Local Development Plan (LDP). Residential development is not supported by policy in such locations and no suitable justification, as an exception to the relevant policy, has been submitted. The benefits of providing the proposed dwellings and contributions for improved play facilities and education would not outweigh the conflict with policy and therefore, on balance, the application is recommended for refusal. As such the proposal would conflict with Policies AW1, AW2 and NSA12. REASON APPLICATION REPORTED TO COMMITTEE The application is reported to the Committee for final determination as it proposes 5 or more dwellings. APPLICATION DETAILS Full planning permission is sought for 7 dwellings at the application site. The proposal would essentially form an extension to a development of 87 dwellings already permitted at the former Coleg y Cymoedd site in Cwmdare (and currently under construction). The new dwellings would be located on part of the land that was allocated for Public Open Space as part of the previous scheme and would be accessed from the roads within that development, leading from Cwmdare Road. The 7 dwellings would be situated to the east of the formal playground area that would be provided for the development currently under construction.
