OVERVIEW of the ALUN SCHOOL and the TOWN of MOLD Our School Is a Large Co-Educational 11-18 Comprehensive School with a Roll Of
OVERVIEW of the ALUN SCHOOL and the TOWN OF MOLD Our school is a large co-educational 11-18 comprehensive school with a roll of 1700 students, including over 400 in the Sixth Form, serving Mold and the surrounding villages. We are over- subscribed and attract applications from other parts of the county into all year groups. The good resources, teaching standards and continuing professional development for staff enables our students to be offered a wide range of opportunities and experiences. Mold is just inside the Welsh border in the county of Flintshire. We are an English-medium school, meaning that all courses and school business is conducted in English, but all students study the Welsh language as part of their curriculum and take the equivalent of a short-course GCSE qualification. The school is the largest in Flintshire and shares the campus with Mold Sports Centre which gives our students access to very good sporting facilities. There is also a specialist Hearing Support Centre attached to the school. Pastoral Structure of the School There are twelve ‘feeder’ primary schools and the vast majority of students in these are automatically allocated places on the basis of their home postcode being nearer to the Alun School than any other high school. These students account for up to three-quarters of the places each year. After this students are admitted under specific criteria until the standard number is reached. On entering the school, each student is assigned to one of four Houses – Clwyd, Dyfed, Gwent and Powys. A variety of information, including family connections, is taken into consideration when making allocations to Houses. -
Inquiry Into Ports in Wales Introduction I Am Jim O
Response to Welsh Affairs Committee- Inquiry into Ports in Wales Introduction I am Jim O’Toole, Managing Director of The Port of Mostyn Ltd in Flintshire. I am a Deputy Lieutenant to the Clwyd Lieutenancy and a past Chairman of the North Wales CBI which I represented on the North Wales Economic Forum. I am also a member of the Bank of England Advisory Panel for North Wales, and also represent Welsh ports and industrial interests on the Dee estuary relating to the Water Framework Directive. I have more than 50 years experience in the shipping and ports industries. Regulatory Regime Ports is a reserved matter and current U.K. policy is contained in the document “Modern Ports” – a U.K. Policy – Nov. 2000. The Welsh Assembly Government ‘s parallel policies on ports are contained mainly in two policy documents: “The Wales Freight Strategy” - May 2008 and “Wales Transport Strategy” - April 2008. Neither of the Welsh documents contain what could be regarded as firm policies for Welsh port development, indeed the Transport Strategy document makes no more than a passing reference to ports and sea transport. The Wales Freight Strategy document provides an overview of the Welsh ports sector and contains 10 policy statements. However, scrutiny of the policy statements shows they are little more than intentions to “continue to review” and to “continue to monitor” various strategies for potential port development. I am therefore not convinced that the Welsh Assembly Government fully appreciates the importance of ports to the Welsh economy, hence its lack of firm policies which the industry can rely upon when considering development plans. -

Sherwood and R. Williams. Also in attendance Marie Reynolds – Clerk to the Council. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE These were received from Councillors L.T. Coleman and T. Hughes. DECLARATION OF INTEREST – MEMBERS CODE OF CONDUCT There were no declarations of interest. 190. REPORT FROM ALED DAVIES, CEMETERY SUB-CONTRACTOR Mr Aled Davies of Aled Davies Agricultural Contracting was present at the meeting. He reported that all was going well with the Cemetery except for some issues with litter. A lot of empty alcohol bottles have been found. These are being cleared away and put in recycling. It was commented on that people are going to the Cemetery after dark. Mr Davies went on to report that there are a couple of loose headstones in plot 1. Also, it is noticeable that the stonemasons are not fitting the headstones in a straight line. Councillors expressed concern at the loose headstones and the Clerk stated that she would investigate. It was pointed out that an enquiry had been made to Blackwell’s Stonemasons to come to the Cemetery in an attempt to resolve the issue of headstones not being lined up. That this remains an issue with stonemasons is disappointing. -
